Interesting and very sad.

It's good the process is slow, because...

... because I am not a big civil wars and riots supporter. I think, they 
do almost nothing wrt justice, but they serve very well to various sons of 
bitches and their minions. As a sidenote, they could also be instigated 
using money, for example to cover somebody's stinking traces. Especially 
that media oriented minds are prone to forget anything that tv set 
displayed earlier - their minds are like this phosphorous layer in cathode 
tubes, wiped every time a new picture is displayed.

As of independent candidates, this would be great, just let's not forget 
Hitler was independent, too (AFAIK).

BTW, I keep wondering, what can be bought for a trillion? I am rather 
imaginative, but I can hardly imagine a prostitute worth ten grands a day. 
And even so, I doubt I would have strength to have her "full service" this 
pricey more than once a month. So, this leaves us with a trillion 
anyway...
