Okay, I live in 21st century America, I read and I watch television. You bet I'm paranoid, because these are paranoid times. And paranoia does its job well, frequently supplying the real answer to the old "Why in the hell did they do that?" question. For example:
This Sunday's Denton, Texas Record Chronicle published a description of the kind of miscarriage of justice that used to boil enough public blood for changes to quickly ensue.
