"I could probably ax my neighbor for a j tonight and get one without much worry about repercussion. Ditto if I wanted a ho. We are not really that without liberty, and maybe the very slight risk makes it a little more fun."

Hey, I'm an upper-middle class white dude and could probably get away with it, too...however, the Arbitrary Application of Justice makes a mockery of our legal system, doesn't it?! Why should some young ghetto lad get time in the pokey when you and I don't?! Isn't that one of the African-Americans' biggest beefs? If a law ain't seious enuff for everyone to get busted for it, my opinion is that it should be eliminated so that no one gets busted for it!!

I think the concept of deterrant(sp) must be applied here. It would be very easy for cops to arrest everyone at 1 oclock when the bars close. Why do you suppose they don't?

PS. I like your use of "FRegards at the end of your posts. I think it really helps keep these things from becoming pissing matches which is so often the case.

Best FRegards BW
