Oh, Stockton. |
Oh, okay. |
How about you? |
Uh, Cincinnati, actually. |
I was kind of wondering if they would be collecting people with, uh, the western accents or something like that. |
I don't know how many people are, uh, getting involved in this |
but uh, well that's interesting. |
Uh-huh. |
I'm, uh, uh, actually, uh, I was kind of interested if you found out about the study by, uh, reading TELECOM DIGEST |
or was there another? |
Uh, a colleague of mine at, uh, work got some information over, uh, the computer network called INTERNET. |
Oh, okay. |
Yeah, |
that is how I got it as well |
but, uh, |
And he just forwarded that on to me |
and, uh, it sounded like it would be an interesting project to participate in |
Uh-huh. |
so I sent back mail. |
Yeah, |
it will be interesting to see what, It would be interesting to see how the data base, |
so, well, I guess we're talking about the experiment. |
Uh-huh. |
Uh, probably need to try to get back on the topic |
but, uh, it's hard to talk about finances without without getting to, uh, dollar figures I guess you know, |
Uh-huh. |
we could talk about some of the long range goals |
and, |
Well what other long range goals do you have besides college? |
Uh, well I think, either my wife or I would like to pursue advanced degrees at some point |
Uh-huh. |
uh, I guess we will have to factor that in if we are not working for employers that happen to fund that. |
It seems like every year my employer just gives back, you know, a little bit your tuition reimbursement. |
Uh-huh. |
I mean they use to reimburse one hundred percent |
and now it's, uh, now it's reimbursement depending on the grade you get in class |
and, uh, it's a real shame from what we had before, uh, because we're, |
Right, |
uh, actually I lived over in Europe for a couple of years, |
I lived in Germany |
and in Germany they don't have the jury system. |
What they do is they have, uh, three judges, basically. |
And you get up there |
and the prosecuting attorney presents his evidence |
and your defense attorney presents their evidence |
and those three guys take the evidence, go off, figure it out and then come back and say whether you're guilty or not. |
our judicial system is in such total chaos. |
I think what they need to do is, they need to somehow take the money out of it. |
I mean, when you have a man that's signed a, a, a statement saying he's guilty, |
we have a, a family called All day family. |
They were all murdered. |
Uh-huh. |
All the people signed confessions, |
they went to a trial by jury. |
They been trying these people now for twenty-two years, ever since I was a child. |
Wow. |
And what they've done is they've bought Mercedes after Mercedes after Mercedes is what they've done, |
has nothing to do with justice whatsoever. |
Well, you know, it's, it's one of those things, |
I mean, uh, uh, I would have to look at it. |
if they did it with the, uh, just the judges, the police have to do a lot better job of making sure that their evidence is airtight |
because the judges sitting in that kind of stuff day after day, they know all the procedures, |
they know what's good and what isn't, |
they'd be able to say, I'm sorry, |
you can't use this as, uh, evidence, you know, because it was either illegally obtained or whatever |
and, you know, you wouldn't have this, uh, uh, theatrics where the lawyer jumps up and presents it to the, to the jury |
and then the judge says, oh, no, |
disregard that. |
Come on, |
any jury's not going to disregard the evidence, you know |
Uh, that's true. |
I, I, I think our judicial system is attorney welfare myself. |
That may very well be. |
I, I hold it in the utmost contempt. |
Uh, |
The, uh, my favorite is the police department, |
they're not aimed at the criminal. |
The judicial system is aimed at the citizens |
because you and I, we have work schedules, |
we can be called at work, |
we have Social Security numbers, |
they can trace us down, |
we have telephones, |
then we have checkbooks. |
Criminals have none of these things. |
They're real difficult to catch, |
and if they do catch them, they don't get any monetary gain out of it, whereas us, we write a check. |
Yeah. |
So where do you think they target their efforts? |
That's true. |
They target their efforts toward the citizens not the criminals. |
Well, How would you go about changing it? |
You know, that's a, |
I've nailed the problem down |
but I, |
Leave the details up to somebody else, huh. |
Yeah, |
I'm going to have to leave those details like, what would you do about, |
I think, to begin with, you would you would have, |
like, here in Atlanta area, our crime rate is just astronomical, |
