Quote from Aaron Copland:
Well then leave, move to Russia. Hey Makloda and Landis I'm getting pretty good at this.
Anyone who don't like it just LEAVE. Don't complain just leave.
Bullshit! It's our country. They are the ones who ruined it. Look at this asshole from the famed MILBERG WEISS Law firm. The one that was paying witnesses to testify while shorts destroyed companies? This is arrogance:
Lerach jail term ramped up after tickets claim

As a convicted white-collar criminal, former Milberg Weiss name partner William Lerach was supposed to serve his sentence at a minimum-security prison camp.
However, earlier this summer, Lerach was placed in administrative segregation - locked down for 23 hours a day - after he allegedly offered a corrections officer the use of his San Diego Chargers season tickets, reports The Recorder.
Should a formal administrative proceeding go against him, it is likely that Lerach would not be permitted to return to the camp, and would instead be placed in a higher-security facility.
Lerach could also lose any 'good time' he had accumulated toward early release.
Once the top securities class action lawyer in the country, Lerach last year pleaded guilty to participating in a scheme to pay kickbacks to lead plaintiffs. He was sentenced to a 24-month prison term in February. Lerach arrived at the US Penitentiary in Lompoc, near Santa Barbara, California, on 19 May, and was housed in the complex's satellite prison camp.
Little more than a month after he arrived, Lerach was chatting with a corrections officer, sources said, when the conversation turned to sports. The guard indicated he was a San Diego Chargers fan, and Lerach said he could use the season tickets if he wanted.
The guard reported the conversation to Lompoc authorities, which kicked off a disciplinary investigation against Lerach, these sources said.
It is standard procedure to place a prisoner in administrative segregation while a disciplinary investigation is ongoing, said Alan Ellis, a San Francisco Bay Area sentencing specialist who is not involved in Lerach's case. Eventually, an administrative hearing is held, and an inmate is not allowed a lawyer in those proceedings, which are closed to the public.
Lerach's hearing has not yet been held, sources said.
Offering a staff member anything of value is considered a 'high category' offence for an inmate, according to prison guidelines. In the four-tier federal discipline system, that is one step below the most egregious kinds of violent behaviour.
Other examples of high-category offences include escape, wearing a disguise or mask, fighting, making sexual proposals to another inmate, encouraging a demonstration, or persuading others to participate in a work stoppage.
Less serious punishments for a high-category offence include taking away an inmate's property, his prison job or his recreation privileges.
