I don't trust your judgment as to who is innocent and who is
guilty. I do happen to feel that any human who is not a judge
is a better judge than any judge, so your opinion would be
worth more to me than the fact of criminal conviction.
 

The truth is that the legal system does a lousy job and every
thinking person knows it. There are very many persons in prison
who didn't actually do what they are accused of having done.
This is no less true of violent crimes than of sneaky crimes
or victimless crimes. The crisis situation in law, is that this
is more true today than at any other time. More wrong is done
in the name of justice, than could happen in more primitive
societies. This feature of our society needs to face justice
itself, because it's wrong.

You got some news coming. If it weren't for the resolution of
some outlaw hippies fighting injustice, you wouldn't have a
chance to make your happy camping trips into the woods. If it
weren't for the resolve of anarchists in the last century, you
might be locked into severely exploitive working conditions,
and not free to vacation whenever your spirit yearns for nature.
You don't have to make yourself any promises for the New Year,
but if you do you should try harder to tell the difference
between words and blood.
 

In resolution,
