I live in a government town, and I kind of like it. Here, the municipal gov't seems to be in bed with the real estate biz, but that's the only corruption I know of. In general, the various levels of government here do their own work, including locking up criminals. (And on that note, for anyone who remembers my post on the "red dress" project to dramatize the number of missing and murdered indigenous women in Canada, a white man in my town has just been convicted of 2 murders of beautiful young women - he confessed! It's a start.)Jean Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805088081675965859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-48126703801727741142016-09-20T11:07:39.363-04:002016-09-20T11:07:39.363-04:00It follows that somebody in the business of rippin...It follows that somebody in the business of ripping off the public wouldn't have qualms about screwing one more person. Looks like their definition of 'family' is, "Keep your mouth shut."<br /><br /> <br />This is the same thought process that hires private contractors in war zones to provide services that the Armed forces used to handle themselves. Same for the private prison system. Once the state can put some distance from how prisons are run, or wars are fought, only graft and abuse can come of it. Damn. <br /><br />Great post, Suz! Very effective. But now I'm pissed off. ;>)Daddy Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927663248424944119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-53390008084776130182016-09-20T01:16:38.454-04:002016-09-20T01:16:38.454-04:00Hey, Suz.

But sometimes it's worth standing on principle.<br /><br /><br /><br />Lisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.com
