Live from Crim Pro...
Weeee! Criminal Procedure. What a delight this class is. Actually, I shouldn't crack on it, it has gotten substantially better as the year has gone on. I guess the reason I didn't like it early on was for a reason I haven't discussed in this forum: my DUI. I will allude to it briefly. The bottom line is that I was wrong, I attempted to beat the system, and felt that I was "ok to drive." What that exactly means, I don't know. Obviously, there is an argument to made in regards to whether or not it is legitimate to subject every person to the same objective number for which we label them "legally drunk." (if it's legal, what's the freakin problem?) What may be incapacitating to one person, may be "sleepy" to me. But I digress. Where I would have been a supporter of the idea at one point, I have since thrown in the towel in regards to fighting the system. I have learned such a valuable lesson, I can not literally put it into words, to be honest. I was, and still am, very embarassed for my actions. I disrespected all of the people who love and support me by acting a way that they never would have expected or wanted. I paid my dues, and will continue to pay my dues for years to come. Basically, if you go back in the archives, you can see all of this discussed, though I never really said why. So, why did this make Crim Pro such a crap class? Because the last thing I needed after all of that was a 1,000 per credit lesson on search, seizure and arrest. I should get a discount, cause I already took the crash course a few weeks prior.
Quick thought on The Apprentice. Last week was pretty lame, to be honest. The challenge was to spend one day doing a "dog related" business, the winner being that team that showed the highest profit. First of all, this is just impractical and not really applicable to the job they were interviewing for. And second, it's just freaking stupid. Somehow though, Stacey, the mighty might with the might mouth, managed to make it even stupider, at one point, fighting for the idea of buying doggie outfits for the dogs and taking photos of them. Right up there with a bunch of amateurs offering dog massages and nail clippings for a price. If this isn't some level of fraud, I dont know what is. How they managed to not get sued for consumer fraud is beyond me. I digress. The real issue here is this theory: I believe that none of these people, except for the winner, should have a job at the end. Well, for the most part. Isn't going on this show just the worst idea, if you plan on being a total jackass? How many of these people do you think get fired on the show, and then get fired in their real job after their employer finds out how absolutely incompetent and catty they are? This recent chick, Stacey, got fired, and I have no idea how her employer can look forward to having her back. I think she may have already been fired, because she can already be found at www.staceyrotner.com where she offers her services as a speaker. Im sorry, but I am more apt to pay this chick money to shut up, then to actually give a speech.
Time to learn about wiretaps and informers. I am already incensed with this topic. What did Jimmy Conway tell us about the two most important rules in life: "Never rat on your friends, and always keep your mouth shut."
Just remember, when inviting someone into your home, you are not relying on an expection of privacy (as described in the Fourth Amendment), you trust that the person won't be a rat or a cop. So, to you criminals out there, good luck!
