Anybody Know anything else about Shane Bennet and Chris Cornell? If you stop to think about it this definitely explains a whole lot about why the drug problem here never got any better despite the onslaught of local tax money being spent on trying to diminish the problem. But hey its not like this came as a HUGE surprise we all knew these guys weren't upholding the law like they were getting paid to do. I guess the drug business pays a little better huh? So who is it that is going to protect our children from these sleeze bag drug dealers? We cant really rely on the only people we should be able to trust. What a SAD SAD day in Elbert county Georgia

The writing is on the wall. Police state tactics backfire. Power always corrupts. Why when hollywood thinks of officials mis-behaving they always think of somewhere in the south usually georgia. Is it art imitating life or life imitating art. There is deep trouble in the deep south. It's not them its us we are the people. These people who do these things emerge from our own ranks. Jails and harsh sentences treat the symptoms not the problem. When did the cops become the criminals. If you look at georgia history it looks like they have been the whole time.

If between crooked cops and self serving politicians we believe THESE are the BEST OF THE BEST of the possible representatives of our society, then we as a society deserve everything that happens to us...

The cops, judges and politicians are the obvious manifestations of government power. And as George Washington is supposed to have said, "Government is not reason. It is not eloquence. It is a force, like fire: a dangerous servant and a terrible master."

Cops, judges and politicians all have well documented histories of corruption and maleficence in office. It has been going on for decades. Their positions are corruptible and it is the responsibility of the public to watch them and keep them under control and not make excuses for them just like watching a fire. If not, we all get burned.

Daily Horoscope for December 9

Pisces

You have a one track mind today, dear Pisces, and it's running along very ambitious lines, absolutely determined to achieve something you've been attempting for ages. Can you be so committed that you're prepared to let everything else go by the wayside for the time being? That's great, but don't become obsessive about it.
