One of my best friends is a retired cop; my brother-in-law is a retired cop; my niece's husband is an FBI agent and former city cop. They are all good people who's company I enjoy tremendously, and they all share the cop mindset of "us vs. them" or "they're all guilty of something until proven otherwise." Most cops, active or retired, don't see themselves as "common folk." s>>>> Their only qualification is they are or were govt agents. r>>> But that could be enough to get such a measure enacted. s>> To what end?

But answer this, Rob: Are retired govt agents clamoring now to extend this "privilege" to us common people? _______________________________________________ Libnw mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] List info and subscriber options: http://immosys.com/mailman/listinfo/libnw Archives: http://immosys.com/mailman//pipermail/libnw
