There have been huge discontent regarding the reduction of this cover and people’s anger towards the policy has been on an upswing.

As an educated scientist of politics and social behavior, and syndicated and analyst and author, I have warned publishers in the problematic 5th Circuit Court region (Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado areas) that the Civil Courts have forgotten the grave importance of a fair system to uphold the civilized order. Lawyers and judges who exchange the equalibrum created by proper procedure and fair play in the civil courts for “good ole’ boy” arrangements and illegal bribes keep cases out of their court. It comes with a consequence, costing “peace”, and is as predictable as Newton’s Law of Gravity. It costs society it’s own economic development (McCarty vs. O.U.). It cause a chain reaction that I graphed in syndicated letters. When the civil court breaks down, the civilized order breaks down directly behind it. The alternate route to man’s unresolved wrong is to try to resolve it himself. Unresolved wrongdoing ALWAYS alters the plaintiff’s life for the worse, and is the reason why they must resolve the matter they attempted to take to the courtroom to begin with. Violence and economic underdevelopment inevitably follow the court’s incompetence or corruption. The court looses its ability to function as the instrument it was created to be. A terrible downward spiral FOR ALL the civilized order. Human reaction is like the Law of Gravity it is so predictable.
He was pushed into it by the court! He needed help and was begging for a day in court in hopes of attaining help. Shame on the lousy lawyer and shame on the lousy judge.

Government consulting on violence should be an unpaid public service. Too many folks have gotten rich and powerful in the US by manipulating the minds of others into violent behavior, and contract the US to create new security measures afterward.
