The concepts are good, but in a system perverted from justice, you cannot trust the laws to be enforced correctly or legislated properly. Like how copyright has been perverted into virtually nothing entering the public domain for a couple generations thanks to Disney.

sorry I was agreeing with you, just adding a quote about how "binding" only works for what the law says should be bound

The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.

I don't know, I thought the same thing about Bernie in 2020 but everyone went Biden instead. I hope this goes well and is replicated across the nation, but then I remember that "do good for everyone" isn't a common goal.

Good advice is always contemporary.

Hate speech aside, feds that encourage a system "of the people, by the people, for the people" are okay with me.

I just don't understand how to shake people out of apathy. By scores of metrics, America is doing terribly compared to other Western democracies, and the proof is ready and evident. But Americans just don't care, "who is kamala harris" was trending on google on election day.

Then add all that on top of disinformed Americans that will fight to keep their chains.

Particularly in instances where you cannot verify the authenticity of the officer, such as no-knock raids or being grabbed off the street.
