Do you know anything? Seriously. You live in your own little bubble world.
Judges are incredibly underpaid. Even the Supreme Court Justices make only around $150,000. In the private sector they would be making closer to $2 million. They usually have to go out and do things on the side just to make a living.
Many of the people who represent defendants on these death penalty appeals are making next to nothing, on both the prosecution side and the defendants' side. The defendant is usually dirt poor and cannot afford an attorney. And prosecutor's make next to nothing as well. Hell, police officers often make more than prosecutors.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
