I've just watched the documentary film, Deep Web, about the Silk Road and highly recommend it. Besides anything else - and there was an awful lot of "else" that opened my eyes -- the doco reveals that there really is no real justice in America anymore when the state is involved in the prosecution --- only raw power and their use and abuse of the law at will.

To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.

If you get a chance check out "An Unreal Dream: The Michael Morton story" to see just how bad two DAs can be. Happened just north of us here in TX. Erick and I saw Morton speak at a continuing legal ed seminar a few years ago. An amazing man.
