Had trouble uploading one of my mountain scenery photos so I picked this one of a young Lao militia member. Plastic surgery on the nose? Doesn't look like a Lao nose to me, must be a movie star.

Fellow Swampers,

This week, Lee Camp interviewed Alex Vitale, author of End of Policing.

Vitale proposes that we as a society rethink how we deal with the societal problems which we currently use the police for.

For example, Portugal has made great strides in diminishing their drug problem by legalizing all drugs. Moreover, related problems like HIV, STD’s and overdoses have decreased dramatically.
Instead of involving the police, offenders are given treatment.

The people's good is the highest law.

In the latter, one example was a demonstrator being hit in the head by a University Professor with a bicycle lock and chain.

This is the Summer of Hate, about which I wrote only a few days ago.

There will be a KKK rally in Charlottesville today, and Klan members are clear about their intentions.
