Oh judge! Your damn laws! The good people don't need them, and the bad people don't obey them.

Force is the weapon of the weak.

At the end of the day you are your own lawmaker

A mosaic of memories takes me back to my own childhood, and then to my children. My earliest memory of St. Augustine was a day trip from Jacksonville; a day with some neighbors who were nice enough to purchase me a plastic toy-tugboat with a blue superstructure and white hull. Other accounts meld into my adult years. With its history and attractions, The Ancient City is pristine and picturesque by most accounts; but from the Newer Jail (not the Old Jail) , the perspective is very different.

The laws in this city are clearly racist. All laws are racist. The law of gravity is racist.

We've come a long way, and changing a law is really important. What I've realized is laws change, but you also have to change how people think. And that takes time.
