That is like sticking a gun in your own mouth but letting someone else pull the trigger. People should start to be held more accountable. Maybe we need to begin behaving like they do in Mexico and put some fear into people. If you know there is a chance, however slight it may be, that you or your children or perhaps all of you will be executed for screwing somebody over, would you gamble with these lives? Of course not. That is the problem in the US. People do not stand up for themselves. Americans have become weak and unaccustomed to fighting for what they believe in. The "out of sight, out of mind" becomes rule. When was the last time you saw a news agency do a reading on the militay dead? This is because they are becoming forgotten after all this time at war. As long as Americans follow like stupd sheep, people in the US will contine to be screwed over. Ever notice that every time there is a huge riot by African-Americans or other minorities who are getting screwed that change comes around? This is because the US does not want it to repeat again. Did you see how Congress when crazy after the woman in Arizona got shot? They were worried about protecting themselves, not the general public. How are you supposed to keep a gun 1000 feet from a member of Congress? Carry yardage markers like the NFL? Violence is the only true way to reform. People get scared and they will make deals quickly because the powerful are actually the weakest. They have more to lose and are not willing to make the ultimate sacrifice in the name of justice or change. I know this was a morbid post, but in all honesty this is what should be done to people who screw over people and think there will be no repercussions for their behavior.
No offence,but I think you have confused the Privilege of transplantation with a Right........

Totally agree with the rest.
