[TheForge] Criminal Background Check: way OT

[Jerry Smith]

People seem to fear a police state because of movies and TV shows. I don't know what is cool about serving time because I don't live that life style. 

If you take money while in political office you get something 18 months and probably shock probation. With Madoff, he will get a life sentence due to his age, which he only will get a sentence of 5 to 10 years in jail.

The government knows who I am and has records of me being a good person, never been arrested, had only 2 speeding ticket in my life, one wasn't even in the U.S.

But when I apply for many things, they take my fingers prints.

People who commit crimes should be the ones fearing having their finger prints taken, but they aren't. It's a life style for them.

I fear the current administration because of many things, gun control being on of the issues, but also this extreme speeding spree that is being planned, then the gross enlargement of the government, but they already have my finger prints and other information. 

Oh, when you do your taxes, you give the gov your social security number, a sample of your hand writing and possibly your DNA

You might think that way. I might think that way, betcha even Andy V. 
thinks that way.
Most of the  gang bangers around here 1. Do not believe they will get 
caught .2. If they do they will get nothing  significant as a 
punishment. 3. If they do get a year or two they will be super cool 
amongst their friends.
They are correct on all counts.
