There are not enough jails, not enough policemen, not even enough courts too enforce a law not supported by the people. - Hubert H. Humphrey
Born into thisInto hospitals which are so expensive that it's cheaper to dieInto lawyers who charge so much it's cheaper to plead guiltyInto a country where the jails are full and the madhouses closedInto a place where the masses elevate fools into rich heroes... - Charles Bukowski
