I have a BA in Political Science from UCLA and I have a MA in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine. What are your credentials, aside from having a PhD in Narcissism?

You are one of these typical liberals who thinks he knows more than anybody. It is so funny listening to guys like you who think that anyone who has a different opinion from yours is "ignorant".

By the way, I never claimed to be a libertarian but I do have libertarian views on some issues. With regard to the police, they are a "necessary evil" in a civilized society. And unfortunately we need more of them, not less. I hope we get to the point where there is so little crime that we need less of them. When that time comes, I will be the first person to demand that police departments stop hiring. But I highly doubt that will ever happen.

I have to question what country you live in if you think the big problem is the police, rather than the criminals. Anyone listening to you would think you live in Iraq under Saddam Hussein.

With regard to Mubarak's army in Egypt, who would you rather have in power in Egypt, Mubarak or the Muslim Brotherhood? I would take Mubarak every day of the week.

Your arguments are so childish saying that I wait for Fox News to tell me what the problem is. First of all, it isn't true that I make my opinions based on any specific news source. I use 30 different news sources and still always form my own conclusions. Second of all, I could make the same accusation to you. I could say that you wait for MSNBC to tell you that the police are to blame for all the problems. Does that sound like an intelligent comment? No. So why do you constantly make comments like this? Anyone who has the opposite viewpoint of you is "ignorant" and gets all their info from Fox News. You won't be winning any debate contests any time soon. In a debate you should always focus on the facts. But if the facts don't support your case, you can always tell people how much smarter and how much more well informed you are than they are. That wins a lot of points.
These are the facts Rupe

They are setting the table that any Civil disobedience in the future will be met with the potential to charge someone with a felony. Meanwhile the middle class is getting pushed more and more and if at some point in the future they wish to speak out and protest well guess what they do it at the risk of being charged with a felony if a cop with a hard on tells you to leave and you do not. If this doesn't scare the **** out of you, then you are living in LALA land.. Sounds like an Oligarchy to me Rupe. But wait DA's and Cops won't do that because well it is the right thing to do. The current law works just fine.
