1. Perhaps your suggestion that Libra and I go to a chat room, and stop mucking up this thread with our idle chit-chat, is a good one. Libra?
2. I doubt that there are reliable statistics regarding rates of lying, cheating, and stealing among Police Officers. We are each left with our personal experience. I have probably had more interactions with Police Officers than most, and my experience has been that, with the exception of Madison Police Officers, they are as honest and decent, if not more honest and decent, than most people.
3. I don't know how you can say that "all" or "every last" Police Officer is "scum," and that he/she lies, cheats and steals. Human experience reveals that there are good and bad people in every profession or occupation. As noted above, my personal experience is that Police Officers are more honest than most.
4. "Everybody does it," is the last refuge of a scoundrel. Everybody doesn't do it. Many, perhaps most, Madison Police Officers do it. Period.
5. Your hostility to Police Officers is evident (e.g., they are "scum," you have "no sympathy" for them, etc.) Where would society be without Police Officers? There would be a total breakdown of order, and it would be difficult, if not impossible, for you to do whatever you are into, unless you happen to be a criminal.
6. For the record, the underage girl molested by the Madison Police Officer was not a "little kid." If my memory serves me correctly, she was a Madison Police Explorer and a high school student. I don't wish to paint an inaccurate picture -- the reality is bad enough.

Right On FFM!!!! You rock! I think you must really be a judge

I'm a man of mystery and intrigue, and I wish to keep it that way!

As I mentioned, he may have a point about going to a chat room. Perhaps it is bad form to engage in idle chitchat on a news thread, although I enjoy chatting with you, and don't wish to discontinue. Candidly, I'm unfamiliar with the etiquette of posting on threads like this, and I don't wish to p*ss anyone off, inadvertently or otherwise.

The problem is that I'm a curmudgeon and totally clueless, and although I'm aware of what chat rooms are, I had never been to one, and don't have the vaguest idea of how to find one.

Si, mysterious and intriguing FFM,(2 adjs)

Well, we are not in anyone's way right here -- they will boot us if we are in non-compliance...sheesh....

But, to answer your question about chatting, I chat with my friends only through instant messaging. I have Yahoo Messenger and AOL AIM. But don't use them very much because I see my friends a lot and spend most of my available chatting moments on Topix...lol!!!

If you don't have either Yahoo or AOL, you would have to download software and set up a profile...

my yahoo name is the same as this, so if you set up yahoo, you could just add me to your buddy list and send me an invitation to chat, you'll be able to see if i'm online/available or not.

Most of my friends live far away, and I communicate with them almost exclusively via e-mail. Also, most of my customers are overseas, and I communicate with them almost exclusively via e-mail. It seems like I spend half of my life pecking away at my keyboard these days. However, I don't IM.

I don't have Yahoo or AOL. However, I will set up a profile and download the software at some point over the next few days, and will send you invitation to chat.

I was thirsty, so I went down to the newsstand to get something to wet my whistle, where I saw the latest issue of "Vibe" magazine, which contains an article entitled, "Hit the beach in heels." I thought of you disembarking from a dinghy in your choos, Eli Libra. Hahahaha!

Oh, I so don't blame you! It is definitely time to be outside! MMMMMmmmm fresh tomato, eggplant...that is soooo yummmy. I could eat fresh tomato with mozzarella and basil every day. I put a little olive oil, salt and pepper. That is double delicious!!!

But it's good to see you!!!

There is now an unspecified "problem" sending you an invitation. However, I send you a few IMs last night.

[JGC]

Your not bothering me. If you want to chat go to chat room. and sorry to say all cops are slugs. I have never met one that didnt lie cheat or steal. So I have put them in the category of they all are slugs. You muct not know too many cops to think they are honest. Maybe on tv they are but even then there not. Sorry to day Madison is not the only police dept that has low life scum, Tos of the list I would say would be West HAven, New Haven and Hamden. Do you think the ones who dont get caught cheating on their spouses and stealing and beating people are going to announce it on this blog or anywhere else that they are low lifes. Hell no.
