Rizgar, You So Rizdiculous
The judge in the Saddam Hussein trial, Rizgar Amin, resigned today because of harsh criticisms by the Iraqi people who think he is being too lenient on Saddam. Apparently he thinks that if the will of the people is that he not be judge of this trial, then he should, in fact, not be the judge of the trial.
Uhh, is someone going to explain to these Iraqis how democracy actually works?
The will of the people is the last thing on the minds of our judges and politicians. You might be thinking, "Oh Torio, you are so cynical, sure our government has it's problems but our democracy still generally works for the best interest of the people." Well you may be right, so let me rephrase my previous statement. The will of the people is in fact what is on the minds of our judges and politicians when they make policy decisions, and when I say the will of the people I mean the will of the rich people that are willing to fund their campaigns and boat trips to Bermuda.
So let me explain to good ole' Rizgar how it works. Once you're elected, or in your case appointed, you no longer have to care about what the people's needs are. In fact, I think it would be best (for the people) if you completely shut yourself off from their whining and pleading. They might think they know what they want, but they don't. And you might think the basis of democracy is that people elect politicians to represent them, but what that really means is that people are electing you(politicians) to decide for the people how they want to be represented. Don't think that's really what the constitution says? who cares you're a judge, interpret it however you want.
Plus you're a judge, you don't even have to cover your tracks in order to get re-elected every so often. That's basically a free pass to fun town. I suggest you start breaking laws like it's your job. For example, I'd start driving everywhere you go in reverse. If someone stops you just be like listen dude I was reading the laws last night and the way I see it you're the one breaking the law, and then flash your judge membership card.
There is one setback however. While you are indeed a judge, you must remember that you're an Iraqi judge, so while everything I said is mostly true in your case, you'll probably want to do whatever George Bush's decision makers tell you to. Because let's face it, you might be a democracy now, but you're our democracy and don't you forget that bitch. I'd still try out the driving everywhere in reverse though, because that would just be cool, and don't you wonder what it'll do to your odometer, I sure do.
Another thing I'd try is sending a letter with 19 2 cent stamps, then when it comes back get all pissed and demand that they make 1 cent stamps cause you don't want to waste another 2 cent stamp when you only need one more cent in stampage. Or maybe they'll just let the letter go through with the 38cents of postage rather then the required 39cents. If that happens, retire because you have nothing more to accomplish.
Do they already make 1 cent stamps?,
