Prosecuting is fine. It's when they have all the resources, and the defendant has a Public Defender getting paid practically nothing, and has practically no time to prepare, but the prosecution come at them like they are OJ Simpson that I have an issue.

I don’t think you can blame the prosecutors for doing their jobs (assuming they’re not breaking the rules in how they do it) under that system.

I think I can, too. This smacks of "just following orders," or "just playing the game." They knowingly and deliberately screw people for no good reason.

That confused me at first, but I realized that he's speaking "orders of magnitude," which means that 365 rounds to 100.

It's mostly done in physics, and briefly, your only count the number of digits. If I'm comparing a number with 3 zeros to a number with 12 zeroes, the actual number hardly matters.

That's a good thing, is it?

I prefer this version, but I enjoy a good bass rumble.

Yes. Always good to say it again, though, lest people forget.

I'm reminded of a line from Yes, Minister.

If you're going to do this damn stupid thing, so do it in this damn stupid way.

If they actually wanted this to work, they world have given people some time to get their shit in order.

I was thinking something similar. If I could only taste boobs, I could probably be ok.

my hat is barely big enough to make this post.

Stink, stank, stunk.

No, wait, that's not me. That's the Grinch.

If you can come up with a better rhyme, I'm all ears.

History does not repeat, but sometimes it rhymes.

This is a very obvious rhyme.
