Thread Name: Lori Berenson gets 20 years!
Subject: RE: Lori Berenson gets 20 years!
My dear dear Clinton:
Working in a small general litigation law firm, doing huge political cases, we often ran into people who were quiet unconcerned about the rights of other, having grown up comfortably in the accepted mainstream. Their apathy and careing ended the day a police officer cracked their head with as stick; arrested them for "biting him on his fist" (actually worked on such a case!); arrested them for crimes they did not commit; ignored the murder of a family member or friend; was arrested in another country; Well the list can go on an on, but be assured, a small number of us will be there and active when even you in your apathy falls out of the mainstream and finds yourself in hot water.
It does not take a belief in conspiracy theories to accept that NOONE is safe enough in most nations to believe that there is no chance they can be the innocent victem of their or another's government's policies or whims, just ask ex-Police Commissoner John Stalker.
Hope you don't need us and can stay happy and apathetic
Keep smiling
Your ol' pal, Larry
