You really have a gift for writing. And sometimes your satire is a fine honed edge, and it's hard to tell if you're dead serious or just pulling our leg.

My son did all kinds of stupid stuff between the ages of 15 and 20 and the local cops (who were just a couple of years older than he), came looking for him, just because they could, and he always outsmarted them. I can think of 2 or 3 times I had a face off with them in the driveway, and had a couple of close calls with them myself. (Ya never want to mess with Mama Bear).

We see enough corruption from those in power these days. Doctors, lawyers, judges, CEO's and those who are supposedly there to serve and protect us. That article hit a nerve. For some reason, a judge extorting money from a private detention center on the backs of some innocent kids, made me want to bring back the public stockade for their punishment...and more.
