this just in from Des Moines Leader, Des Moines Iowa "What sort of country would put a man in a federal prison for 15 years for possessing a single .22-caliber bullet? Ours would. And it did, in one of the most bizarre applications of federal sentencing guidelines that substitute a formula for common sense.

Dane Allen Yirkovsky, 38, of Lisbon is no candidate for sainthood. He served time for burglaries, and authorities believed he was involved in other crimes. Yet, the only offense for which he is now imprisoned was possessing a single bullet. Because of that, he will be a guest of the American taxpayers for up to 15 years."

The man had never used a gun to commit crime, he did not even have a gun, only the bullet he had found and tossed into a box, the judges even said that it seemed totaly unfair but their hands were tied, what ever happened to justice?

barney fife kept the peace in mayberry with only one bullet..who's to say what could have happened?

intent follows the bullet. (jm)

hope i can hang out here without the constant harangue of the self-imposed victim squad.

Sometimes I just like to go back and see what Todd has to say, it may sometimes still be bullshit, but I still like to read it anyway.

Give'em hell Todd.

*looking up*

Todd, you're so bright and insightful. I too like to re-read your stuff.

And don't give me any flack about doin' it.
