"Perhaps Travelers and Gypsies/Romas need to be better educated about the legal system so that they don't enter guilty pleas for things they have not done – and learn how to work within the legal system to obtain effective defense against false charges "
Where can I begin to educate you, my dear friend. Perhaps you have read parting the waters? Good start. It takes a near miracle to begin a civil rights movement. One must begin with the expectation of rights. The great question for all civil rights workers is how to begin to foster that expectation. You mention that you are an Anglo Saxon American. Well, much of knowing a world without an expectation of rights is hidden from you, it is experiencial. One has to walk in dark and hopeless places to understand. I have, and maybe that is why you and I don't understand each other. Larry
