Excuse me folks, but I've noticed a couple of things happening in Broward
County Florida (former playground of Sherrif Nick Navaro; hero of the
prime time T.V. Show: COPS)
Number 1, the federal government has decided to break up the
consentration of DEA along the South Florida coast and in and around the
ports. Oh yeah, there are still plenty of cops here, but word has it that
you can actually travel through Ft. Lauderdale or Miami International
Airports w/ cash in your pocket and NOT have it pillaged by a couple of
DEA officers who never get around to pressing charges. (Again, this is
what I hear. I don't know about you but I'm not quite ready to try it myself)
Number 2, the new sherrif has been threatened with losing control of
several of the citys which (since Uncle Nick's reign) have been policed
by the sherrif's office. His response? NONE!
Now, having lived in So Florida all my life and having seen the same
attitude among government types all over the world (I speak of So.
Florida because I'm here and can see it first hand) I'm WAY too cynical
to take it on faith that these people might be intentionally headed in
the right direction. It wouldn't supprise me if the new sherrif simply
never got the message from his secretary and the DEA presense was just
making way for a new military installation or CIA operation.

My question to this group is this:

Has anyone else seen (first hand) sings of hope?
