    Some people just love to complain and have no regard for the constitution of our once great country. Maybe we get them some cheese to go with his whine!

    The Miller situation is beyond insane. For starting lineup intros, he's taken to having a teammate pat him down like a cop looking for a gun. The Bama fans think its great and supposedly the HC approved the show in advance and has refused to condemn it. Unbelievable.

    It's just a reflection of our society, unfortunately. Miller is the toast of the town in Tuscaloosa and authorities weren't about to take down its star player. Had Miller been just another African American kid, he would be under the jail. The reality is Alabama is having its best season ever and Miller is a big reason for that, which makes him untouchable. Alabama is about to get a big dose of reality when they play in the tournament and the national media absolutely destroys them for playing a young man that brought a gun to his friend that was eventually used and cost a young lady her life.

    Every civilization has operated this way. Become elite at anything and you have less to worry about with regards to certain rules. You can often "cross" lines and be fine. Just have to watch how far you cross.

    You hit the nail on the head. An old friend of mine, who retired from law enforcement, told me many years ago that you get as much justice as you can afford and he's right. The reality is if we were all held to the same legal standard, 75 percent of our politicians, including a few presidents, would be locked away for life.

    Congress is the only profession where you are paid <$200k annually but be worth 10s of $Ms after a few terms.

    That’s why we need term limits. Congress was not intended to be a profession
