Got guts? Tired of being lied to? Like an alternative source of information truly independent and free of government propaganda? Want this publication to continue? Send a financial donation to P.O. Box 997, Buchanan Dam, Tx. 78609.

Publisher's Note: This publication receives no financial support through advertising.  Although shaken down, looted, and abused by corrupt government, area businesses remain unwilling to stand up.  Locals are too gutless to donate financially, cowardly fearing retribution.  For this publication to survive, national readers need to contribute.  Furthermore, desperately need an additional laptop or desktop computer as back-up to a failing Dell Latitude notebook currently being used.  Got one gathering dust in the closet?  Care to donate? While conveniently accessing these webpages "free" of charge, never forget this publication remains non-profit and depends entirely on nearly non-existent community support. At the same time, Liberty In Peril is, has been, and will always remain beholden to NO ONE. -- Precisely why there is no financial assistance.  ... From day of launch and certainly a no-brainer to this very day, firmly resolved to walk away first rather than compromise principle. -- To the chagrin of many and delight of few.    T.C. 3-2-03.

Index:
Working definition of fascism for new readers? An abusive and dangerous oligarchy based on a pernicious blend of government, big business, and religion. ... A boot-heel cynically placed on the throat of the masses, justified in principle by perversion and bastardization of religion.

Judge Laura Denvir Stith of the Missouri Supreme Court presided over a hearing recently in which Missouri Assistant Attorney General Frank A. Jung desperately tried to prevent a death row inmate from having his conviction reopened.  -- New evidence had surfaced, indicating the condemned man was indeed innocent.  The judge sat in disbelief at what she heard.

Finally, she asked the Assistant Attorney General: "Are you suggesting even if we find Mr. Amrine is actually innocent, he should be executed?"  The Nazi state official responded: "That's correct, your honor."

According to legal experts, the exchange was unusual only due to its frankness.  Similar atrocities are going on all over the United States.  … Justice is apparently dead in fascist America.

Hear the "President's" radio address March 1?  Quickly ascertain the lies, distortion of reality, and sheer propaganda promulgated by the shameless dolt appointed "Chief Executive" by a fascist Supreme Court?

Mr. Bush declared:  "America is determined to enforce the demands of the United Nations Security Council by confronting the grave and growing danger of Saddam Hussein and his weapons of mass destruction. This dictator will not be allowed to intimidate and blackmail the civilized world, or to supply his terrible weapons to terrorist groups, who would not hesitate to use them against us. The safety of the American people depends on ending this threat."

Readers are reminded the UN Security Council has been dragged kicking and screaming from the day Die Fuhrer arrogantly sought UN rubber stamp approval of his planned grossly un-American "preemptive" attack on Iraq.  Had there been no outrageous arm-twisting by Mr. Bush and his henchmen, there would have been absolutely no UN action against Iraq.  None.  The UN grudgingly acquiesced to appease our Nazi "President" and his shills.  For Ole' George "The Tush" to now claim "America is determined to enforce the demands of the United Nations Security Council" is shabbily disingenuous and self-serving.  Outrageous distortion of reality.

Mr. Bush has provided absolutely no evidence Saddam is intimidating and/or blackmailing the "civilized world."  None.  The "President" is a liar, determined to impose his will on the world with no regard for what anyone domestically or internationally thinks. Worse, the jackass occupying the Oval Office is foolishly ensuring Saddam will likely supply weapons of mass destruction to terrorist groups.

... Should the "President" invade, Hussein would have absolutely nothing to lose.  Everything to gain.  Should it happen, Mr. Bush will be equally responsible for the catastrophe.  A catastrophe that could have been prevented or at least delayed had our "President" remembered he is supposed to be an American leader.  Not a Nazi Fuhrer.

Regarding the "safety of the American people", Mr. Bush could care less.  Precisely, why he won't make desperately needed changes in American policy in the Middle East, rein in the Israelis, force an end to their barbaric occupation of Palestinian territory.  Sadly, the greatest threat to our security does not come from the Iraqis, North Koreans, Iranians, or any foreign power.  It comes from Mr. Bush, himself, Die Fuhrer.   A man who has repeatedly disgraced himself and shamelessly abrogated his oath of office.  ... While hypocritically wearing "religion" on his sleeve.

Commenting further during the radio address, the "President" phonily mused:  "But America's cause is always larger than America's security. We also stand for the advance of freedom and opportunity and hope. The lives and freedom of the Iraqi people matter little to Saddam Hussein, but they matter greatly to us."

Sadly again, the "President" shamelessly lied.  Freedom matters not at all to a fascist.  Indeed, a hindrance.  Precisely, why Ole' George has deliberately and aggressively eviscerated the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Eighth Amendments in a naked blatant attempt to thwart liberty, civil and constitutional rights, create a fascist police-state, and ensure his return to office two years from now.  Tragically, the threat is indeed domestic, not foreign, and resides in the White House.

What's next, Mr. "President?"  North Korea after Iraq?  Then, Iran?  Thereafter, George?  France? Germany?  ... After all, both irritatingly had the guts to wisely question and stonewall your planned atrocity against Iraq.  What about Turkey?  Courageously had the guts to vote against an American bribe amounting to billions, -- that would have allowed Die Fuhrer to more easily attack Iraq from the north.

Mr. Bush ended the address as hypocritically begun, heavily distorting reality and history to justify the pending atrocity:  "It will be difficult to help freedom take hold in a country that has known three decades of dictatorship, secret police, internal divisions, and war. Yet the security of our nation and the hopes of millions depend on us, and Americans do not turn away from duties because they are hard. We have met great tests in other times, and we will meet the tests of our time."

Nonsense, George.  An outrageously false analogy and allusion to the true threat of the Second World War.  Unlike sixty years ago, however, Saddam is no threat to anyone other than his people. Their problem.  Unlike Imperialist Japan and Nazi Germany.   Should the "President" proceed with an unprovoked attack against Iraq, the dolt will ensure continuing instability in the Middle East, -- and a new generation of terrorists.  Sieg Heil, Mein Fuhrer, America Uber Alles.

In a speech before the American Enterprise Institute, Feb. 26, the "President" of the United States once again demonstrated his perverse view of reality and penchant for self-serving distortion of it to his purposes, disingenuously declaring:  "I've listened carefully, as people and leaders around the world have made known their desire for peace. All of us want peace. The threat to peace does not come from those who seek to enforce the just demands of the civilized world; the threat to peace comes from those who flout those demands. If we have to act, we will act to restrain the violent, and defend the cause of peace. And by acting, we will signal to outlaw regimes that in this new century, the boundaries of civilized behavior will be respected."

First, Mr. Bush has not listened carefully to world or domestic opinion in opposition to his planned atrocity.  Had he, he would have understood the depth and reasons for the enormous level of opposition internationally.  And addressed them.  Clearly, he has absolutely no appreciation, regard, or concern of the world community for a planned atrocity remarkably similar to that which started the Second World War.  Precisely, why our allies are so reticent.  A fascist, however, sees things only in black or white, no shades of gray, certainly no hues of brilliant color.  Is pitifully incapable of thinking at a profound level.  ... Becomes too complicated, unbearably sophisticated for an uncomprehending dolt.

Second, when the "President" asserts "All of us want peace", he is either shamelessly lying to the public, -- or himself.  The dolt does not want peace.  Quite, the opposite.  Is the only way a Nazi can secure and consolidate power, get his cookies off, and eviscerate liberty as well as civil and constitutional rights in the process.  More importantly, secure reinstatement in office two years from now.  ... Can't reasonably expect a Nazi Supreme Court to rescue him yet a second time, can he?

Third, Mr. Bush phonily blames Saddam for Bush's planned initiation of violence.  Outrageously, perversely blames the target of violence, for the initiation of the violence itself.  Accepts no personal responsibility himself for starting a war unjustly.  Conveniently, blames the other guy, the victim.  When a "religious" fascist, such as the "President", however, phonily exhorts people to take "personal responsibility" for their actions, they should quickly tell the goddamned hypocrite to go to hell, put it where the sun doesn't shine.  Look in the mirror, before telling others what they should or shouldn't do.

Fourth, it is the violent "President" who needs to be restrained for the sake of world peace, first.  Then, our foreign enemies.  The threat originates here.  Solve the problem domestically, and it goes an enormously long way to solving the problem internationally.  Should U.S. policy in the Middle East change to a more equitable balance, the wind would quickly be removed from al Qaeda's sails.

Fifth, it is the "President" who does not respect "boundaries of civilized behavior."  His outrageous ignorance of enormous world opinion in opposition is proof positive.  Sadly, the American people have no comprehension of how opposed most of the world is to our Nazi "President."  ... And rightfully fearful of the dolt who is no more than a dictator.  Sadly, it is only the American people who remain sound asleep to the domestic threat originating in the White House.

Good Ole' Boy Rep. Tom Delay, R-Tx. once again demonstrated his enormous penchant for Aryan arrogance, Feb. 25, accusing Democrats opposed to Die Fuhrer's  planned unprovoked attack against Iraq as "the appeasement party of the future."  ... Is that right, Tommy Boy?  Wake up, jackass.  Aggressive stupidity is unbecoming, Congressman.  -- Even from an unabashed fascist as yourself, sir.

Anyone in Congress or anywhere in this Nazi country courageous enough to question the established order deserves a medal.  Not condemnation, Mr. Delay.  ... Especially, when it involves a grossly un-American unprovoked attack on another country.  The first in U.S. history.  The Nazi "President", fond of hypocritically wearing "religion" on his sleeve, and his fascist henchmen and apologists will have blood on their hands should the atrocity come to fruition.

Fascists in the House of Representatives voted 241-155, Feb. 27, to ban all human cloning.  All.  Not just babies, but cloning of cells for medical research.  Prohibition of creation of a cloned child is a no-brainer to most people.  Rightly, so.  Not so, the cloning of cells to be used for medical research and therapeutic purposes.  The "President" haughtily backs the bill nonetheless.  Faces stiff opposition, however, in the Senate.

The "President" and Congress are once again further eviscerating privacy in the United States by imposition of a new system of extensive background checks and threat assessment ranking on all airline passengers.  Information so gleaned will reportedly be held fifty years.  ... Imagine if you're falsely deemed to be a "risk" and no one will allow you to fly, -- or harasses the living crap out of you every time you try to board a plane?  Who's next?  Bus travelers?  Private cars? Sieg Heil, Mein Fuhrer.  America Uber Alles.

A Nazi U.S. Supreme Court ruled 8-1, Feb. 26, anti-abortion protesters are not subject to RICO, --  the Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.  Sadly, enforcement of this Act by prosecutors was the only chance women could get a constitutional, legal abortion without harassment and physical threat coming from the "religious" bastards who constantly attempt to stop them from doing with their uterus as they damned well see fit.  ... In Nazi America, where day is night, night is day, and manure smells sweet.  Sieg Heil, Mein Fuhrer.  America Uber Alles.

29 Luddite Lawmakers Fail To File Computerized Campaign
Reports

On $3 Million In Political Donations
 
 

66 Legislative Losers Also Avoid Electronic Filing
 
 

Austin, TX:  Two state senators and 27 state representatives elected in
November failed to file campaign contribution and expenditure reports in
the Internet-accessible electronic format required by Texas' 1999
Electronic Disclosure Law. Taking advantage of loopholes, these
horse-and-buggy Luddites forced over $3 million in political
contributions off the information superhighway.  The 27 Luddite
representatives comprise 18 percent of all House members.
 

"It's time to upload the Luddites into the computer age," said Texans for
Public Justice Director Craig McDonald.  "There is no excuse for
candidates who raise hundreds of thousands of dollars to hide behind
loopholes in the reporting laws.  If these legislators don't know how to
use a computer, they should hire a middle-school student to help them
out."
 

Rep. Talmadge Heflin is the Luddite who raised the most money ($310,641),
followed by Sen. Mario Gallegos ($250,368), and freshman Rep. John Mabry
($222,148). Sen. Jon Lindsay ($186,361) was the only other Senate
Luddite. Despite the fact that Republicans wield a majority in both the
House and Senate, Democrats accounted for 66 percent of all Luddite
lawmakers.  Twenty-one of the legislators who failed to file electronic
reports are returning incumbents who also failed to file electronically
in the 2000 campaign cycle.  Seven of the 29 Luddites are newly elected
House members.  One of the 29, Yvonne Davis, who raised only $11,100 in
the 2002 cycle, had filed one electronic report in her 2000 campaign.
 

The two major parties also fielded 66 failed legislative candidates who
did not file electronic campaign reports. Meanwhile, just one major-party
winner of a statewide office shirked electronic filing (Luddite Steven
Smith funded a successful Supreme Court campaign with $38,465 in
donations and loans).
 

Barring electronic disclosure, campaign data just get filed on paper at
the Texas Ethics Commission (TEC) in Austin. Texas' 1999
electronic-filing law requires candidates for legislative and statewide
office to file electronic campaign disclosure reports that the TEC posts
on the Internet, making it instantly available anywhere. Loopholes in the
law, however, allow candidates to dodge electronic disclosure if they
sign affidavits claiming that: 1) They do not intend to raise or spend
more than $20,000 a year; or 2) Neither they nor their agents use
computers to track campaign finances.
 

Nonetheless, all but two out of 29 Lone Star Luddite legislators raised
more than $20,000, with 13 raising more than $100,000. Twenty of the 66
Luddites who lost their legislative races raised more than $20,000.
 

A complete list of the 29 Luddite Lawmakers and 66 Luddite Losers is
available at the TPJ Website:

The following is a series of unedited email correspondence between the American Civil Liberties Union and this writer in regard to criminal deletions of Ledger websites over a year ago.  To date, no response, other than a canned autosponder message has been received from national ACLU headquarters to the latest complaint filed.  Apparently, ACLU no longer has any interest in First Amendment issues, -- or is wildly incompetent.  You decide.  ACLU-Criminal Website Deletions

Dear Mr. DeRosier,

Apparently, quick exposure of earlier IP address
spoofing and illicit signing up of this publication
for unrequested "services" has not deterred you from
renewed spamming activity and additional squandering
of company time and good corporate image.

-- Stupidly, using the same spoofed Yahoo.Com server
IP address a second time to retaliate against ongoing
posting of extremely unflattering material on The
Ledger website, regarding outrageously poor Dell
support.  Tough, isn't it?

Couldn't at least use a different spoofed IP address
to make things a little less boring?  ... Be a bit
more creative, Mr. DeRosier.

Thought others at Dell needed to be aware of what is
going on, and took the liberty of sharing our ongoing
message exchange with them.  Thanks for the additional
fodder.

Dear Mr. DeRosier,

Don't you think it a bit juvenile and in fact
aggressively stupid to use a Yahoo.Com server address
to spoof and illicitly sign this publication up for
unrequested "services"?  ... To both email addresses
listed on the header of the last message sent on
Sunday?  Think Mr. Dell would approve of such waste of
company time and tactics?  Think the U.S. Attorney or
Yahoo would be as amused as this writer?  Regardless,
thanks for the laugh and additional fodder for the
website.  Am deeply grateful.  ... Never a dull

Dear Mr. DeRosier:

The following ignored snail-mailed letter to Mr. Dell
has been published in the last two editions of The
Llano Ledger.  Readers are entitled to know precisely
how Mr. Notebook and Dell Computer do business.
Indeed, a public service.  Will continue to be posted
weekly for months.  -- Until I get tired of it.

At that time, a new webpage on The Ledger website will
be created.  All correspondence between Mr. Notebook
as well as Dell "Support" and this writer will be
posted.  -- Again, the readership has the right to know
exactly how both companies operate.  ... Particularly,
how poor "support" is at both firms.

Should your attorneys decide to sue, by all means do
so.  With an exceptionally corrupt and abusive court
system, Dell indeed would likely prevail.  Regardless
of the truth.  After all, your multi-billion dollar
corporation can easily financially impose its will.
Would be an empty victory for several reasons,
however.

First, would fully publicly demonstrate precisely how
abusive and repressive a powerful corporate entity can
be, -- ultimately costing market share.  After all,
why buy Dell when you can purchase HP, -- a company
far more attentive to customer concerns and
complaints?

Second, would certainly publicly expose Dell "Support"
for being inept, unresponsive, and profoundly
obfuscating.  Sadly, -- the number one problem in the
view of product users.   ... Again, costing market
share.

Third, a suit would bring this publication additional
recognition nationally.  With readership exponentially
expanding, can only further aid and assist, no?

Fourth, should Dell prevail, this publication has no
assets, -- other than the piece of trash this message
is typed on.  Remember?  The supposedly "factory
refurbished" Latitude Mr. Notebook fraudulently sold
as rebuilt?

Fifth, this writer has no assets. Certainly, "judgment
proof", so to speak.  The truth regarding this entire
fiasco would come out in court for all to see,
regardless of whether or not Dell uses its
considerable assets to buy a favorable, self-serving
outcome.

So, should your legal beagles choose to file suit,
bring it on.  ... Hardball?  You bet.  Can only wonder
how many others have had to put up with this same
crap, or worse.  While they had no options, this
publication certainly does.  Can indeed expose it to
the light of day.

Bottom line, Mr. DeRosier, is the fact the office of
the CEO has not had the courtesy nor seen fit to
answer the enclosed letter, preferring to stonewall.
-- Or possibly never received the letter at all.

... Could have been conveniently intercepted by a crony
in the Dell mail department?  After all, you knew full
well it was coming.  Nothing less than a response from
the office of the CEO is acceptable.

If his office indeed received the correspondence, it
is glaringly indifferent to unresolved customer
complaints.  Has apparently refused to right the wrong
regardless of legal culpability or lack thereof.

Certainly, aggressively stupid since you've already
likely lost more in sales than it would have cost to
correct the problem.  Corporate image is priceless,
isn't it, or has Dell Computer indeed grown too fat
and complacent to care?  -- Or is this merely a matter
of one Dell employee desperately trying to cover his
ass and/or that of his department?

Sincerely,
Tim Chorney, Publisher

August 18, 2002

Dear Mr. Dell:

A Dell factory refurbished Latitude was purchased from Mr. Notebook by [redacted] of [redacted] and donated to this non-profit publication about a year ago.  Despite a nearly $900 expenditure, this machine has been a piece of trash since purchase.  Support from Mr. Notebook was non-existent.  Sadly, Dell Support was not much better.

Clearly, after a year's worth of problems, factory "refurbished" does not mean factory "rebuilt".  Apparently, the hard disk, floppy, and CD drives were never replaced.  -- The most likely sources of product failure.  In addition, the supposedly replaced lithium-ion battery module has a design flaw.  Although the machine has always been run on AC power and the battery maintained at 100% charge, intelligence circuitry in the module failed, rendering the battery worthless.  -- Coincidentally occurred during the latest email foray with Dell Support regarding floppy disk failure.  ... Aren't I lucky?  Incredibly blessed?

All that was requested from Dell Support this time around, however, was a pointer to diagnostics that would have pinpointed the problem with the floppy drive.  ... Not absolutely sure yet whether the failure lies only in the drive itself, or may also involve the socket and possibly bugs in drivers common to both the floppy and CD ROM drives.  Sadly, the CD ROM has never worked flawlessly either and has had occasional problems of reliability.  ... At least, it's still working, however.  Unlike the floppy.

While Dell Support indeed provided a pointer to diagnostics, the download ironically requires use of boot disk and floppy.  Indeed, a problem of not being able to get from here to there.  When pointed out to Support, received no further assistance, -- just an outrageous run around.  ... Despite assurances on the Dell website such email support supposedly exists for life of the product.

Mr. Dell, I can certainly understand you cannot be aware of all problems within a large corporation.  You do, however, have unaddressed flaws with "refurbished" machines sold by disreputable vendors fraudulently and phonily invoking Dell corporate name, image, and prestige, and more importantly, horrendous problems with a totally unresponsive Dell Support division.  No question, it is doing damage to corporate public image and reputation.  Sadly, although your machines are extremely popular, the greatest problem I've heard from users is lack of support.  Can certainly attest to that from personal experience.

Support outrageously refused to provide an email address for your office, -- unlike HP and other corporations more responsive to unresolved customer problems and complaints.  ... An email address would have certainly provided an easy practical way of sending the entire email exchange over the last year.  Would have sorely indicated glaring obfuscation, non-responsiveness, and interminable intentional delay.  Hard to believe you're unaware.  Than again, Dell Corporation could apparently care less.

Mr. Notebook sold the Latitude as a Dell factory refurbished machine, supposedly tested by Dell-trained technicians, clearly so indicated on the bottom of the computer.  Again, the floppy, CD, and hard drives apparently were never replaced.  The most likely components to fail.   Since factory refurbished clearly does not mean factory rebuilt, the computer is no more than a used machine.  ... A machine that could have been bought for half the price at a resale shop.  Even less if purchased privately.  With the price of new notebooks precipitously dropping recently to the $900 range and technically capable of running circles around this dinosaur, assuredly have no intention of dumping additional money into this piece of trash.

Mr. Notebook, on the day of purchase, claimed this machine to be factory refurbished.  Repeatedly made the claim.  Clearly, it was not.  Mr. Notebook quickly washed its hands of this lemon, failing to answer follow-up correspondence from this publication regarding product failure shortly after purchase.  Have no intention of wasting additional time and effort haggling further with Mr. Notebook, -- other than to publish an investigative article exposing this entire fiasco.  After all, the public is entitled to know exactly how business was done.

Due to several serious problems never corrected by Dell or Mr. Notebook since purchase of this falsely alleged Dell factory refurbished product, however, can honestly say at this point I would never again purchase a Dell computer, -- new, used, or "factory refurbished".  From anyone.  Certainly would never encourage others to purchase Dell either.  Indeed, why take the risk and put up with the hassle?

Regardless of whether or not Dell Corporation is technically or legally responsible for fraudulent claims made by a vendor of Dell machines, the damage done to corporate image is indeed severe nonetheless.  The lack of competent support and assistance from Dell Corporation in the matter is stunning.  Certainly, costly in terms of good faith and product loyalty lost.  Regardless of legal responsibility.

Have enclosed the last few emails from Support upper management refusing to provide an email address for your office and highly indicative and glaringly demonstrative of ongoing obfuscation over the last year.  Little more than canned, computer-generated messages containing phony platitudes and false concern designed to obfuscate and stonewall rather than provide technical assistance or resolution.  Apparently, the problem is top-down, since tone and substance of upper management Support is no different than that of lower level techs.  Although unquestionably a public service, have held off publishing an investigative article until I hear from your office.

Sincerely,

Dear Mr. DeRosier:

You still have not answered my question regarding the
email address of the office of the CEO.  While the
nature of my business with that office is none of
yours and your comments a bit presumptuous, suffice it
to say the sheer volume of material I wish to send
regarding this and earlier related matters make doing
so electronically far more convenient.  To the point,
are you refusing to provide this publication with an
email address for Mr. Dell's office?  ... This is not
the end of the matter, Mr. DeRosier, only the
beginning.

Dear Mr. Chorney,

Thank you for contacting Dell Customer Care.  I
apologize for
any inconvenience this issue may have caused.  In
looking through
your history, my understanding is that this issue
revolves around
the floppy drive and battery malfunction.  The
on-line service
technician made the presumption that your unit was
still under
warranty and asked for the system Service Tag.

Unfortunately, since this unit was not purchased
from Dell, we
are not obligated to offer warranty service.
Therefore, you
must seek repair or replacement through Mr.
Notebook.

To answer your question, Mr. Michael Dell is our
CEO.  Our address
is as follows:

Dell Computers
One Dell Way
Round Rock, TX  78682

Once again, I apologize and truly regret any
inconvenience or
frustration this matter may have caused. We value
you as our
customer and your satisfaction is very important to
us.  If I
can be of further assistance, please advise.

Respectfully,

A letter To Burnet County Sheriff Joe Pollock has been posted recently.  Access it by clicking here.

As promised, the letter of complaint sent to Burnet County Judge Martin McLean, regarding fraudulent Ledger Maxpages and Stormpages site deletions originating from the Burnet County Library System and resulting in the ejection of this writer from library computers, has finally been posted.  Readers are reminded this is not the end of the matter.  Just the beginning.  For ongoing coverage of the criminal attacks as well as the letter to the Judge sent in response, click here.

As strongly asserted in the last 96 editions, gut-wrenching fear generated by the Narcotics Enforcement Team is quite impressive. After all, these Nazi stormtroopers not only outrageously intimidate defendants and their gutless attorneys, but even innocent third parties who have suffered at their corrupt and abusive hands.

Recently, a source came forward with allegations regarding the death of a loved one under exceptionally curious circumstances. Sadly, the survivor got cold feet.

Most pointedly and quite publicly, how in hell do you expect these abuses to end if you don't have the guts to stand up and expose them to the light of day?

Every time a source cowardly runs the other way, the corrupt and abusive sons of bitches win. Every g-ddamned time. Worse yet, another nail is driven into the coffin of liberty.

If you don't have the courage to stand up and do the right thing, why should this writer continue to place himself in physical and legal jeopardy trying to expose the outrageous corruption and abuse?
