And a "max of 4-5" is an acceptable way to spend a few years in hell? Over the years I've developed rather a lot of respect for you Duncan, but this is a bunch of hyper-macho bullshit. Five years in a US prison is no small deal - it's a ride through the bowels of Malebolge. > So now he has a felony conviction > anyway plus endless parole supervision which gives the Feds way too much > control over you.

Come on big-boy - prove to us how manly you are. AFter all, you'll likely only get 4-5 max at trial... > If you go to trial and lose and do your time you are then free of > supervision. Plus you never admitted any crime. A plea is an admission. And the end result is the same: you have a felony conviction. At least his version allows him to sit down painlessley while he waits out the sentence. > When you are in custody, your cooperation is the only thing you can deny > your captors. Exactly. -- Yours, J.A. Terranson [EMAIL PROTECTED] If Governments really want us to behave like civilized human beings, they should give serious consideration towards setting a better example: Ruling by force, rather than consensus; the unrestrained application of unjust laws (which the victim-populations were never allowed input on in the first place); the State policy of justice only for the rich and elected; the intentional abuse and occassionally destruction of entire populations merely to distract an already apathetic and numb electorate... This type of demogoguery must surely wipe out the fascist United States as surely as it wiped out the fascist Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The views expressed here are mine, and NOT those of my employers, associates, or others. Besides, if it *were* the opinion of all of those people, I doubt there would be a problem to bitch about in the first place... --------------------------------------------------------------------
