Everybody knows that the dice are loadedJustice in America, specifically the Sixth Amendment, theoretically requires that a person accused of a crime has the right to a speedy and public trial. In theory there is no difference between theory and reality -- in reality there often is.
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
-- Leonard Cohen
I had a backpack years ago that held books and a calculator with a replacement value of several hundred dollars. My backpack was stolen -- it and its contents were never recovered. I was angry at once again becoming a victim. Part of my anger was directed at myself for leaving it where it could be stolen. Several days later I was still in a foul mood which had a negative impact on job interviews I had lined up just ahead of my college graduation.
