OF THE
TIMES
Today as never before we need to comprehend the course, logic, and path of the process of history. Every day we need to make decisions that will affect future generations. It has become obvious that no single nation, confession, social class or even civilization can solve these problems on its own. We increasingly have to listen to one another: Europe and Asia, Christians and Muslims, White and Black peoples, citizens of modern democratic states and places where traditional society survives. The key is to understand one another correctly, avoid hasty conclusions, and acquire the true spirit of tolerance and respect toward those with different value systems, habits, and norms.

Mark my words, if the cops don't like you, they can arrange your computer to show what they want.

P.s. I know that any defense of anyone merely accused of child molestation will result in irrational discussions/replies/retorts/ad hominems, so I'll say in advance: try to open your mind up on the role of government vs. individuals. (It's similar to folks like me who question the absurdity of our DUI laws, which are a big cash cow for the state, and yet driving drunk is far less likely to cause a crash than driving while using a cell phone.)
I represented two different alleged child molesters; on the first I did all the discovery but not the trial, the second I also did the trial.
The first guy was INNOCENT. However, a Salem witch trial mentality - and hope for big payday from small county school system - got him convicted. 25 years, no good time; no gain time.
The second was most likely guilty: 55%, I'd guess. I got him acquitted. (It can be a stressful job. Those events, and others even less 'fair' ceased any criminal defense efforts by moi.

The fact that the computer had gravy on it is to provide a note that allows folks to exercise their schadenfreude in comment sections.
