I know that with the Presidential primaries in full swing, with deeply contested races in both parties, that the news is dominated by this, as is our community here.  It is to be expected that other stories, and other issues, will be driven somewhat to the wayside.

But while we are attempting to choose the course that our government shall take in the future, we have a responsibility to look at the wrongs in our present and past, and attempt to address them.  Government struggles to do good when its evils are not confronted.  And the following is a story which I am willing to beg you to read.

The pundits have been all over the Airwaves lately repeating how everyone in the Beltway is just agast over the DC Madams threat to break the Hooker Code of silence and actually snitch on her fellow Sex Partners in crime. To the ruling classes in D.C. it seems  just unimaginable and terrifying that this woman  would dare betray her powerful paying clients just to save her own neck. Even the Judge and District Attorney got into the anti snitching act, taking steps to prevent her from turning on her fellow participants in these titilating crimes! Only a technicality let her get away with her outing her illicit customers to ABC! Now for the rub...

Gang culture is just representative of the political culture, pop culture, main stream media culture and the Bushco Administration culture.

'No Snitchin' seems to be a very accepted part of American culture across the boards especially in big corporations, the military, religions and, dare I say, practiced in most homes.

In fact, I think it is part of our collective "code of ethics."
