From there it is just a hop and skip to imprisoning people because the police has a "gut feeling" somebody is about to commit a crime.
My perception of justice demands that people can only be tried for they HAVE done.. not for what they MIGHT do in the future.
I mean how the hell can you possibly justify any arrest without a crime??
COnsidering how protective of your freedom and civil liberties the US public is, i cannot for the life of me understand how such flagrant violation of the principles of justice isn't scaring the hell outta people.
The principle of "pre-emptive strike" is just as ridiculous in civil matters as it is in international politics..

What about my case??? Someone took my work and tried to pass it off as their own. Because I was notified before it was published and I challenged the individual, he was unable to publish the work in question. Correct me if I am wrong, this individual attempted to steal my work and pass it off as his own, because he was unsuccessful, this it not a crime.
Not if you ask me. This person is a theif, plain and simple.
dmk Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles
