She never begins an attack, nor, when once engaged, ever surrenders: She is therefore an emblem of magnanimity and true courage. ... she never wounds 'till she has generously given notice, even to her enemy, and cautioned him against the danger of treading on her.

You Will Have Brotherly Love...

...whether you want it or not.

Having rid Philly of all major crime, the city had to label some legal activities as crime to justify having a police force go after "bad behavior" in the city.

(Those quote marks are not there to point out how completely fucking stupid that phrase is in relation to law enforcement. They are there because that is the wording the city officials used. I am not making this up.)

People of the City of Philadelphia, you voted these idiots into office. Time to do something about that, innit?

Feel free to drop a line. You don't have to keep it clean - God knows, I won't - but keep it above the belt.
