Relevant book: Tampa.

> Celeste Price, a smoldering 26-year-old middle-school teacher in Florida, unrepentantly recounts her elaborate and sociopathically determined seduction of a 14-year-old student.

Unfortunately not an uncommon practice...or restricted to a specific political party.

A good novel that discusses this is called “The Ugly American”. Worth a read.

Yes, really.

The truth is there's simply no way to separate American law enforcement from its historical purpose of suppressing minorities and the poor.

Richard Nixon outright said, on tape, that the government needed to come up with a way to single out blacks without appearing racist and that the way was a war on drugs.

I recently read Wayward Puritans and one of the arguments against the first accused witch, who was really just this female preacher who challenged the church authority at that time, was that she said she spoke to God. She knew the Bible too well for them to counter her actual preaching, but everyone agreed, the author says, that the Age of Revelation was solidly over. That meant if she was speaking to God, she was probably really speaking to the Devil, even if she didn't know it. It's an oddly half-sane observation.

The only "fight" I've been in as an adult was with a man holding a baby. He was holding the baby with one arm and attacking a woman with the other. I got between them and he grabbed my throat. I trained in martial arts as a teen/young-adult so I know that someone grabbing your throat isn't a bad position to be in (they leave themselves vulnerable everywhere else). I just wanted to get his attention off of the woman. But I did fix him with a steely stare so he knew I wasn't frightened. He let go and the two of them cussed at each other. I told the woman to call the police or GTFO already. She left. He followed suit. But I was concerned for a moment that he'd actually try to fight me with a baby in his arms. I don't know what I would have done.

Edit: Years later I learned from reading Robert Sapolsky's memoir of working with baboons, that this is a strategy by non-dominant males to avoid fights. They grab a baby and the other male backs off. The first doesn't help his standing in the troop but he avoids a beat-down. That's not what this dude was doing, though. He was just a shit.
