Re: court trial against me - the outcome

[mark485anderson@xxxxxx]

There is this old tenet that frogs in water that is gradually heated
don't notice they are being boiled alive. This is what is happening to
America. The changes are not coming quickly or severely enough for our
apathetic, somewhat stupid populace to be alarmed enough to do
something. Either that and/or we are too cowardly to act. It is a pity
because America was founded on great principles, at least on paper. What
a shame we are allowing a corrupt government and political system to rob
us of our Constitution and our heritage. The internet is coming
increasingly under attack. How much longer will it take before the dark
forces that are stealing our rights away have total control over the
internet, our use of it and our privacy? I see alot of web pages and
rhetoric, but only a few are taking actions, which is understandable
considering the heavy handedness of our present governments towards
Citizens who go against the grain.

To Andrew, I am familiar with jury nullification and believe in it as
something that should be regularily implemented. The judges and
prosecutors of course HATE this and will do just about anything they can
to stop it's practice. Best course is to keep your mouth shut and
practice nullification without they're even knowing it. Difficult to do
when 11 + a judge and court personnel are pressuring you to vote their
way.
