Hi Flap,
Damn, I totally hear what you're saying.
When I used to work in the court I would get files for judges, public and whoever. Those criminal files are all public info, anybody can read your criminal history. Probably need a lawyer (which is a whole nother rant!) but you can make your crimanal file from when you were a minor go away.
I cant stand the government, but like you said we are lucky to live here in the US cause in some other countries we'd be shot for what we are writing now. Many people gave their lives so we could bitch about our gov.! And lately I DO bitch a lot about Mr. Bush. Cant stand that man.
Flap, never quit posting your rants because I really enjoy reading them.
luv,
sue
