“The policeman isn't there to create disorder; the policeman is there to preserve disorder.” --Richard J. Daley
Posted On: Friday, Aug. 14 2009 @ 10:09PMDear Anonymous: I have lived in societies where there were no functioning police forces--I suspect you have not. That experience taught me the wisdom of George Orwell's famous remark: "People sleep peacefully in their beds at night because rough men walk the streets prepared to use violence to protect them." Two weeks in Democratic Congo or Somalia should be more than enough to let you know what Orwell was talking about. Sincerely and Respectfully, Ernest Evans
