Fair well, Valucre. May your legend live into the future though your world may perish.

It's amazing how simply Hearsay sounds when learning about it, and then how complicated it actually is in application. Especially when it's a police officer's testimony. I just wanna go all Opera and be like, "Your testimony is inadmissible, your testimony is inadmissible, everyone's testimonies are inadmissible!"
In other news, WA Supreme Court has ruled that the state's drug possession law is unconstitutional. Essentially, you can't be arrested for mere possession anymore. Now the arresting officers have to prove that you had knowledge and intent to possess. So if you get caught with a pound of crack, just be like, "Idk how that got there." And suddenly the onus is on law enforcement.Â
I guess, technically, that's not an incorrect interpretation of innocent until proven guilty. I GUESS???

There was a big story going on out my way a while back, where there was an organized criminal group that, if you pissed them off somehow, would hide a tiny bag of crack in your car's wheel well then call in a tip to the cops about it. It was apparently going on for years, and they just recently caught a guy who spilled the tea on it.Â
So I'm actually pretty thrilled about this WA ruling.Â

Would you save your family or 10,000 people. Why?

Assuming we can overlook the obvious 'can't really know until it actually happens to me' response--
10,000 people
10,000 is the bigger number. My family's just not that big! And within that number is a bunch of other families who feel as strongly about their family as I do about my family (probably stronger for some). So I have to look at this objectively instead of subjectively.

this will sound kind of selfish but hear me out a moment.
I'm saving my family. I know that whole thing of the needs of the many or whatever but I've been by myself most of my life. I'd save my mom primarily. Given a choice in the matter I'd give my life for my mom because that's what/who I know.
I'm a realist...I don't believe ideology plays into it.
I'm like this: I'll save who I can/when I can given my means. And given a choice in the matter it would have to be my mom's life over 10K people I don't know. Â
I know it's a messed up choice though but it's what would be my response.
Id save my mom.
Even now, given the chance to do that I would without a second thought cause my Mom means that much to me.
but yeah those are just my thoughts on the matter.

We're all just a little fucked up, aren't we
