Post by: Seth Otterstad on January 08, 2013, 04:13:57 AM It seems standard to me that immunity to prosecution rises the more important you are. Various kinds of immunity are extended to important people in government, the president can pardon people, and diplomats and their families can murder people and not be prosecuted in the US.

I know it's lame, but this seriously reminds me of The Guild 2 :D in that game you get to do the exact same thing if you get elected to office rather than thrown in jail.

Rule 2: Don't let anyone know what you're doing next. People will use this knowledge to rob you and prosecute you. Someone didn't learn their crack commandments. So they added a new one. Rule 11:Dont get cops in your pocket, think bigger. Title: Re: Here's something I'm sure all the libertarians will enjoy... Post by: Kluge on January 08, 2013, 06:54:20 AM Business as usual. Got some morbid laughter from me, but that was a very powerful article... If community leaders took his tone, there could be riots. Very possibly, they could be race riots. Minorities rioting against a Black president who recently made the shocking Defense nomination of Chuck Hagel, an outspoken opponent of the USG supporting Israeli aggressiveness toward neighbors. I really have no idea what to make of the political landscape right now. Having trouble imagining Obama having support from anyone but his spin doctors, corporate execs, and those who don't follow news.
