Stootch,

Bad Karma, just kidding. Personality flaw: I'm not the type to just roll over and take whatever crap some anus with teeth, a cheap tie, and an overly developed sense of self esteem throws at me. Former Gov. Jeb Bush asked me the same question. I told him, "They burnt an AUSA." He didn't pursue it any further. It's a long story, but...when an AUSA appeared about ready to do the right thing in a matter that I was involved in long ago and far away, "they" got some local cops to arrest the AUSA's son on trumped up charges to keep the AUSA quiet. It worked. As I moved south of the Mason Dixon line the cops became increasingly involved not even knowing why other than they might benefit somehow and the whole thing took on a life of its own which had nothing to do with how it began. By time Florida law enforcement realized that they had been used, they had their own scandals to cover-up. As I said, it's a long story, but that's it in a nutshell.

Joe
