But, the constitution is just "A god damned piece of paper" according to president Shrub, (his words overheard) and he who has the gold makes the rules...
I believe the current administration could be referred to as a "kleptocracy."

i guess i was confused by your attitude that the prohibition against forced self-incrimation was wrong. so the law firm is o.k. as long as it only concerns itself with the parts of the constitution you like?
your pal, blake
There you go, making up stuff again. I never said it was wrong, but I do think that most people that invoke the 5th are hiding something.
....which implies that you think it's wrong that the constitution allows them to do so.

Take it to mean any way your narrow mind leads you to. Nope, I never said that. If my ass was going off to jail, I'd invoke it too if I thought it would save me, but it does not make a guilty man innocent.

There is no guilt or innocence in truth. If you don't lie cheat or steal, nothing you say can be used against you.

as you may know, I work in Social History. A few years ago we had a set in
on of our museums showing a miner's cottage from the previous century. It consisted of a fireplace, wooden table and two chairs. as well as some cooking pots
One day some people from our local council brought some visitors. They were from Africa and were with our council to learn how to run an area. I was showing them around the exhibition and got to the miner's cottage. I was explaining how poor these miners had been and how bereft of comfort.
I felt dreadful when they didn't understand what I was saying.. to them, that cottage was luxury. I never made that mistake again
Give yourself a break. If they were travelling oversees they probably live a life of luxury back home. They likely live in a big house with servants and drive a Mercedes. What do you think happens to the billions of dollars in foreign aid that is sent every year?

When I've noticed all the people of sooo many ethnic groups at the casinos in CT, (realizing there are billions of people starving to death, of course) yes, you've got to realize that somehow they've got to the U.S. with some money in pocket. These are groups of people (not Japanese) that I'm speaking of, the ones on the tour busses, so one does recognize that they are not local -- well, perhaps they are - from NY. Who knows? But I never think when I see people are in a traveling group that they are poor.

For whatever reason, I have noticed that casinos are big with Chinese people, if that's what you're talking about. Many bus services taking them from NYC to Atlantic City or Foxwood.
There is a church in AC that offers free lunch, theoretically to people who are indigent. The buses bring loads of Chinese people there for lunch. They surmise that the tour operator tells them it's the free lunch that comes with the trip. They eat, get up and go to the casinos.
