Victimless crime.

“Trial for murder is no longer a matter of resolving

fact; it has become a re-enactment of the spoilt child caught by their indulgent parents; if the miscreant can deflect

blame while generating sympathy then all is forgiven. Woe to the masses that are incapable of obtaining a capable attorney (more on capable attorneys later). The presence of an overwhelming majority of black people in prison, or

death row is proof enough that it is all about cleverness and not justice that places you in prison. Do you doubt me?

Ask O. J. Simpson. These demonstrations of jurisprudence

by the courts reveal the awful trend that cannot be denied, nor is it unique or unprecedented. The government’s disinterest in murder by stabbing while being obsessed with

prosecuting the victimless crime of breaking the speed limit 87 See the tale of the diamond cutter in chapter Ten.

(that is only noticed by a robot camera), reflect the same principles of government displayed by Stalin’s secret police.

Never mind robbers and murderers prosecute those citizens

contradicting “official Soviet policy.”

Only if our robotic press sensationalizes a crime will

it gain enough attention to be put on the “overworked 88” police investigation team’s list.

Our citizens sanction these trivial public pursuits

wholeheartedly. Why such a wild pursuit, even to the

death89, of minor violations? It all boils down to control.

Control for the sake of keeping the Praetorian’s boat on an even keel.

The madness that grips our community’s executives

is nowhere more obvious than in politics. Parliamentarians in the full glare of the media repeat the ludicrous events occurring in offices throughout the nation. The complete lack of managerial purpose, the widespread incompetence, the

hypersensitivity to all criticism, the huge volume of words that communicate nothing of value, and the widening gap

between official truth and reality, are there for all to see.

The dissolving society attempts to halt the collapse with legislation, reacting to inevitable legal failure with ever more desperate laws.

Recent articles reveal the depth of the problem:

WASHINGTON (AP) The number of people behind

bars in the United States broke the 2 million mark last

year, a record high despite the slowest prison popula-

tion growth rate in 20 years, the Justice Department

said Wednesday. At end of 1999, prisons and jails

held 1,890,800 inmates with the bulk of them held by

state authorities, according to a Bureau of Justice Sta-

tistics report. An additional 135,800 people were held

in juvenile, military, immigration and other facilities,

including those in U.S. territories and common-

wealths.

Previous estimates had focused on the combined

populations of local jails and state and federal prisons,

which are still likely to hit 2 million on their own by

the end of 2001, said statistician Allen J. Beck, author

of the report. ”There are some indicators of stability

that suggest a longer term slowing of growth,” Beck

said. “I suspect that barring additional sentencing re-

forms increasing punishment we may well soon reach

a plateau.
