Wow, Now I think this is something that everyone needed to know, and now
that you have read it can you see how I would never have considered that
"What I heard" regarding the MPD officers selling drugs was not true.
The foundation of Moscows legal and justice systme is rotting at the very
core. and we all know what happens to s structure with a weekend and
rotting foundation.....it falls apart.

I am sure that if vision2020 in its endevore to creat and sustain a
livable community were to conduct a poll, via means other than tis
list, regarding there close encounteres with Moscows court system you
would hear more than you wanted to know.

And as for the concern of drug dealers appearing before the cocain judge,
he is harder on drug offenders than on people with multiple DUI
convictions or multiple arrests for DUI and driving on suspended,
resultant of the DUI, than he is on people who were caught with a
marijuana pipe or even suspition of being under the influence of drugs.

DRunk drivers kill people, while people who smoke pot (without combining
drugs and alcohol) and drive don't drive fast enough to worry about
killing anyone.

Anyway this is a serious issue that is effecting a large portion of
Moscow. Your tax dollars are paying to keep this "cocain Judge" on the
stand while allowing him to pad his retirement fund.

Aside from the fore mentioned problems I have also witnessed unfair
and unjust treatment at the hands of The judge and The attourney to
someone just because they are either friends or a relative of soemone who
has been in troulbe with the law on one or more occations. Whatever
happend to Justice for all....I guess know in Moscows Judicial system it
is justice for all unless..........

Perhaps my posting of the MPD officers and drug sales was not on target
but, it does seemed to have opened a rotting can of worms that, in order
to restore Moscow to the town it was a decade + ago, needs to be not only
addressed but dealt with. One way to do this is at the voting booth, and
another way is to open your eyes and beleive nothing you see or read. To
turn the other cheek in this matter will not make our community better,
but will eventualy allow the higher ups to creat a systme of there own
design. If you wnat to live in a Nazi community then disregard this post,
if however, you want to live in a true Community then open your eyes and
start helping the few that are trying to make a difference. If just two
people can make a difference in their community just think what several
thousand or the population of this news group could do.

Now, if this post compels you to respond lets be careful not to hurt
anyones feelings, maline anyones character or opinion or suggest that this
is not the plase for this sort of discussion, because I believe that this
topic is deserving of discusion more than anything else I have seen on
this list. More than linear parks, More than pretty roads, More than
where to put the pool. The justice systme is the foundation of the
community and without true and equal justice you have nothing more than a
group a commoners living under the hands of the Crown.
Peace be with you,
Kay. Across the wall of the world,
A River sings a beautiful song. It says,
Come, rest here by my side.
