As you have probably guessed by now, I am a Law Man by trade. In the wild west of the 1800's, there was a decidedly blatant lack of law and order. Men were gunned down for little or no reason and the "Law of the Land" was supreme: "Only the strong survive". Thus, the Law was introduced to the frontier. It was meted out by men of legend such as Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson. They had a style that tamed a frontier.

More than a hundred years have passed and we would no longer tolerate that style of enforcement. We are much more civilized than our wild west counterparts and we all live in harmony at last. Or are we? Let's take a look, shall we?

Back then men were gunned down in gun fights in the street. Today we have drive by shootings. Back then property was stolen by the stronger and the weak were helpless. Today the strong still feed off the weak. Theft is running rampant. Cars are stolen or car-jacked, the elderly are swindled, jackets and tennis shoes are taken right off the backs of our children by the animals in the street. A lot has changed hasn't it?

The only thing to change is that now the criminals are the protected ones. We no longer look to the good of society but have gone to an over dependence on individual rights. We no longer care about justice but we pick apart under a microscope who's rights might have been violated. AND, when we discover that perhaps no ones rights were violated, we make up some false testimony and frame "someone" so as to quell those who did not like the answer. The Rodney King fiasco is a perfect example. The officers were found not guilty which, from viewing the Entire film, was a good judgment. However, because the criminals rioted in the streets, the Federal Government railroaded these officers and they were found guilty after their second trial. What ever happened to the constitution and the part about not being judged for the same crime twice?

Will there come a time when society will say enough is enough? We as a country have already turned our backs on God. How would our founding fathers feel about this one? We have now turned our backs on justice. How much more is there to give before we are a frontier society again?
