I'll run it down to get to a conjecture: The assumption tossed out is that a race-jail time correlation is evidence of racism. In fact, it's not evidence of anything without more data. What I find surprising, however, is that if we really suspected that all of these judges are racists, why not begin reviewing each case, look at the reasoning, make the data public, and change the system? My conjecture is this: 1.) People are emotional enough to complain, but not principled enough to do more, or 2.) This has been done (by, say, Sharpton) and the vast majority of cases were found to be well reasoned. So, if my reasoning is accurate, I'd say the answer to your question is that it's 100% probable. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:225919 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
