but still a couple of things to note:
Weasel crap beer? Damn.
A nasty anniversary a few days back.
Also, some argument about 'could/should Roosevelt have bombed Auschwitz?'
On the issue of impounding cars driven by unlicensed drivers, Beck gave the game away during an unguarded, open microphone conversation he had during a break in the Dec. 13 police commission meeting. Expressing his dismay at the resistance to his proposed change, he asked the person seated next to him on the dais, “Why is it so hard to do the right thing?” In other words, this debate is not one with reasonable arguments on both sides, but rather one in which he is trying to do the “right thing” while those who oppose the change, including the great majority of his own police officers, are of course wrong if not utterly evil.
One might argue that the right thing for the chief of police to do is to follow the law. Why is that so hard?
Probably because that doesn't leave openings for the social-engineering crap the Chief and Mayor are so fond of.
The British are stuck in the same groove: blame things, not the criminals. Y'know, if they spent the time they use harassing people for having a pocket knife instead on actually putting criminals- as in 'People who stab/rob/rape/murder'- in prison...
And now, I'm off. To do things, leave the other possibility off for now
