mlsoft, Very assuming of you -- as usual...

Where have I ever indicated I "admire" the Clinton's or the UN "so much"?... The truth is, I believe we, as Americans, have not taken our democratic responsibilities seriously, ergo "fearless leaders" like Clinton and Bush. I believe I've posted same. Obviously, any system is only as good as the effort
put in -- garbage in, garbage out!

Mlsoft, for someone who prefers the "literal", you seem to make lots of assumptions... Why is that??.. No need for a response. I pulled up the site and saw your replies.

Have a good one! :)

The county is suing the state because it says it cannot afford to provide defendants with anything more than assembly-line justice. Mississippi is among a handful of states that provide no money for the defense of the indigent in noncapital cases.

The lawsuit, which will go to trial here this month, is in its way a commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the Supreme Court's landmark decision in Gideon v. Wainwright, which held that poor people accused of serious crimes are entitled to legal representation paid for by the government.
