Re: shutting it down

Sure I'm familiar with it, I had a case thrown out of court earlier this year because the judge felt the cop had stopped the guy for exactly that, suppressed the evidence and the guilty-but not of what he was allegedly stopped for-client went free. My point was the expansive nature of your statement is absolutely incorrect, while there certainly are terrible breakdowns and injustices, you do not get tossed into prison for fitting a demographic, at least here in N. California. You may very well get heightened scrutiny and we can't always defeat that, but you don't head off to Soledad cause you are a 19 yr. old Hispanic with baggy pants.

And definitely not if you "display the psychological traits typical of embezzlers".
When the capital development of a country becomes a by-product of the activities of a casino, the job is likely to be ill-done.

If that was true Cheney would be in jail, n'est-ce pas?

Perhaps you get sucked up by a military contracting firm, or a hedge fund, --or by the CEO of some oil company, or a K street lobbyist.
That trait package might just be pretty profitable these days.
Capitalism searches out the darkest corners of human potential, and mainlines them.
