This is so true. I've worked in a court for 22 years. Twenty odd years ago, the preist of the Catholic church in my town was working with an idiot that lived in the area. This idiot got into some trouble. One of the bond conditions that I placed on him was no firearms. The next day, the preist walks through the front door of the courthouse with three long guns. Only one was in a case. The staff in my office saw him comming and can you guess what they did? Hell yes. They opened the door for him so he wouldn't have to stand in the hall holding all of those guns! God rest his soul, if he tried that today, he would be shot dead in the court parking lot. What a sad state we live in now. Dick

Life is good, just not as good as it was in 1956.
