“As long as the corruption doesn’t touch a person directly, and the trains run on time, and the bread and circuses continue, who cares?”
Too true in general for the present state of our Republic. But Texas, too? If we cannot count on the locals to “police” themselves, then who can we trust? Not the feds.
For the time being, I will trust Texas can hold its own both against criminals and against corruption. Well, there was that matter of JFK and Johnson.
But if a Sovereign State of the size of Texas cannot rule itself, Heaven help us all.
Heaven Help us all anyway.
That's a question everybody answers for themselves. It's the nature of things that the government touts itself as trustworthy. The criminal "justice" system holds itself out as self-correcting, only needing public input as demanded (jury duty, basically). Courts are so smug about the integrity of the process, that all of its business is conducted in the open.
