I doubt #1 is reflected in the legislative history, but it probably permeates NOW literature. Originally Posted by LexusLover

Many societies did not allow female children to inheret money. Widows weren't allowed to inheret their "husband's" money if there was a male issue (child). There was absoutely no such thing as community property unless it was protected by the bride's father in a marital contract. Wealthy women's assets were lost to them when they married.

It's all there in the history books. The professions open to women were menial. Prostitution was one of the very few in which a woman could earn a signifigant income. Look at the comment above about the only place STILL women enjoy a signifigant upper hand.

As for #2, thank goodness you are in a majority, although I am not taking "love" literally in the context of the statement and I must "presume" who you include in the "criminal justice system" from an occupational perspective.

Relatively speaking I feel comfortable in perceiving your exposure to "those in the criminal justice system" is somewhat restricted in time and scope. But you have "good" company on here, particularly in this thread, with respect to your "perspective." Originally Posted by LexusLover

I LOATHE the small minds and power trippers in the criminal justice system. My father was an attorney and my brother was on the job for 15 years before he became an ADA. I dearly love my brother, but the truth is the men and women of the CSJ live life in a cocoon and are quite literally at war with the people they protect.

I will admit there is only a thin blue line of the CJS for societies that protects us from anarchy. Clearly anarchy isn't an option, but the CSJ needs a CONSTANT, white-hot spot light shined on it.

So, it really isn't very "authoritative" in value. Originally Posted by LexusLover

I disagree.

Your attitude, and others like you, doesn't justify their slaughter, or even the wholesale characterization of them all. Originally Posted by LexusLover

Of course I don't want to slaughter them. I don't want anyone slaughtered. Besides, without the CSJ, we would prey. I'll take the enemy of 75 percent of the CJS over being the prey of feudal lords and bands of marauders.

This is exactly why I have more respect for "providers" than your average civilian woman on the street who's had everything in the world handed to them on a silver platter by "daddy" and never had to "want" for anything a day in their life. Originally Posted by Russ38

The largest demographic world wide, including here in the States, is women and their children. A common cause of death in India is dieing in a "kitchen fire". Translated, husbands kill their wives in kitchen fires so they can re-marry and collect another dowary. NO! The "average" woman, again, even in the States, isn't a pampered princess. I grew up poor; I'm not now. I earned my own way.

And was directed at all posters invoking it.. Not just you

No, a meglomaniac (sp - better?) tends to need such declarations to validate his reign and subsiquent failures. Winning isn't easy, and therefore, doesn't require explanations as a general rule. It's evident by the win.

#1: It's all there in the history books. Along with a lot of other "fashionable" musings, like the "Battle of the Alamo."


#2: I LOATHE the small minds and power trippers in the criminal justice system. I do as well, to which I will add ... those outside of the criminal justice system, although it has been my experience that most of them in the criminal justice system are females trying to "prove themselves" by over compensating to "establish" themselves as significant. An affliction that often infects those who have been restricted in their opportunities in the past. Fortunately, those are in the minority.


#3: I disagree. I expected you to disagree. See #2, above. But I've had more direct experience in that area than you over a broader geographical and political spectrum.

#4: Of course I don't want to slaughter them. That's encouraging and on topic.

Hooking someone to a car battery, pouring acid on them, encasing them in concrete, and dumping them in the lake .... "Robin Hoodish"?

Then you would graciously accept your harvest for speaking ill of the DA's and ADA's! If they were inclined to administer the same retribution.

Your argument, which didn't copy for some reason, is non-substantive and completly illogical.

But this thread is not about you, is it. It's about someone killing people working in the criminal justice system (and their family members), because the some doesn't like the laws they enforce or the that they enforce the laws as they are written.

Sweetie I don't need your acceptance or recognition. I know who I am.
