Comments on: More From Mississippi http://www.theagitator.com/2008/03/12/more-from-mississippi-2/ It rankles me when somebody tries to tell somebody what to do.

I think one of the reasons you have this problem is that the fate of the state is tied to its employees, but if the law protected the department, while exposing the corrupt officer, I think you might see less resistance in the future from agencies and government offices, to having their employees nailed to the wall for their abuses of power. Right now what we have is more or less collective punishment of the state for what a few employees do.

Perhaps it's time to go into Real Estate or Corporate Law there, chief. Not that you'd be better at that, but when you fuck up over there it doesn't cost people *years of their lives* That's just a thought. Ummm, Mr. Allgood, you’re REALLy bad at your job.
