- defenses that skirt the legal system. His reference to the woman who was
- mugged and now has obtained a disability is an example of our legal system
- gone haywire. We definitely need an extreme overhaul of our system becuase
- individuals abuse the legal system. By individuals I mean mostly lawyers
- who shop for work. It is disgraceful and immoral. Eventually you could get
- a pedophile claiming descrimination for being a non-active pedophile (just
- because they have not been caught). The legal system needs to recognize where
- justice is best served and decide when a case is ludicrous and should not be
- brought to trial. Pedophiles need help - not settlements. But even then
- the areas are grey and the courts have to be quite controlled when they decide
- to air a case. Whenever individual liberties are denied an individual, you
- must look carefully at the law. Too often the law looks at the current
- political correctness of the issue and lets it go. Who is to blame - it is the
- legal system and all of us for not complaining to the right people.

- I voted in a caucus for the State Assembly on Sunday. How many people knew
- there was a caucus to pick representatives to go the the State Convention and
- to help develop platform rules for the state democratic and republican
- parties? If you did not know you are not alone. If you want to make change
- and are tired of talking about it and complaining, find out how to get in-
- volved.
