what is up with the system ? doesn't seem to work

very well any more. denver's police cheif goes of

to hawaii and a "no-knock" raid to the wrong house

resulting in the "wrong man" getting blown away.

and the chief wasn't in country - he didn't do it -

but i guess one of his policemen made some false

statements to get a warrant for the no-knock. not

only the police chief of denver, but other

politicians and local war lords traipsing around the

globe to attend "very important stuff" which usally

takes most of one morning, and the rest of the time

is play time all accomlished on our tax dollars.

of course public officials should be more

responsible and perseverant about keeping order and

seeing that all the hired help live by the rules.

but i have the suspicion that in the case of denver

police, morale had been on a downhill slide prior to

the junket. i just get the feeling when all our

big vip's are off traveling around, that nobody is

really watching the store.

it would be nice if the citizens of the united

states forced a referendum calling a halt to

official and political travelling except on extreme

necessity and only with the approval of both houses.

or by the city council if a town is in the act - -

but why on earth do people like police chiefs ride

rapidly off in all directions hollering there he

goes. rank has it's privileges - - but i don't

think any of those perks should include absences

from the job to the point they cannot return in a

matter of two or three hours.

but how am i to know right from wrong, i only know

what mom and dad told me. a good part of their

teachings covered - be on time - be dressed neatly -

do your work - don't rock the boat - be courteous

and respectful and above all be honest. all i know

is what they taught me. what did their folks teach

them ?
