Re to the OT question: The system is not working. Since 1963 a total of 102 now proven innocent people once were on death row waiting an average 8 years for their exoneration. (source: deathpenaltyinfo innocentlist) Joseph O'Dell was executed 1997 for murder after he was denied DNA tests to prove his innocence. Three Supreme Court Justices had doubts about the verdict in a 1991 review, obviously the case was never based on evidence "beyond any reasonable doubt". (source: deathpenaltyinfo innocothers) Being in the wrong place at the wrong time could just be enough to make you number 103. And stuff like CAPPS II makes it all the more likely, that people are falsely prosecuted, filed or even charged. This government is not defending freedom anymore, it's regulating and dismantling freedom every day a little more. Read the constitution! This is not patriotism, not at all.
