Well I'm totally new to this forum so first I'll say hello and I hope you guys enjoy my posts and/or my responses. I want to rant on this awe inspiring attitude, that we as people, have come to hand people, I believe deserve nothing. These people are Judges in any court. We refer to them as "Your honor." Even after they fine you $75 for not wearing your seatbelt, we will still hold them on some higher plane. I've never been one to give a man respect based on the amount of time they have spent in school or at their job. Respect is earned by doing what is right all the time regardless of consequences. Judges hardly live by this code. Why do we hold these guy so high? Their job is to read laws they don't make and whether or not they agree with them or even if they are right enforce them. Think about some of the terrible laws in history that have been enforced by judges. How many bribes have been taken by Judges? Now, I know that there are good judges out there and to those I tip my hat to. My main point here is that the day where men get respect by their Titles, Names, Social Status, or even the amount of Education is over. At least in America which is what I'm most in tune with. Since the constitution was written all that judges have done is take away more of our freedoms. Yet we still regard them as elite. We have a criminal system where you can get 8-12 years for raping a women but receive 15-25 years for selling cocaine. Yet we still give them our faith. Everyday it seems you can read an article about some rich guy getting away with murder only because he had the most expensive lawyer in town. The majority of judges are frauds and they ruin the checks and balances system we have in place. Once elected to the supreme court they stay there until they die. Yet the longest anyone "elected official" can stay is 8 years. Someone please explain this logic to me. What I ask you guys is what is it that I should admire about these men? Is it the dedication they have to laws they didn't right? Anyone can do that. Is it the knowledge that they have for all the laws? Is it their ability to interpret the gray area of a law? Or, am I onto something and these guys are frauds in society.
