Politics: Left, Right, and Center National, state, regional, and local politics. Who's doing what to whom, and what you can do about it. How-to-get-action messages are encouraged. "How the government fucked up my life" stories are encouraged. Sharing new methods for cheating on taxes is encouraged. Sample "letters to congresscritters" are encouraged. Apathy and "I can't do anything" posts are discouraged. Left, right, centrist, or any other form of political-economic systems are all up for discussion. Be prepared to defend yourself, or at least have a good line of bullshit ready. Extensive quoting of economists and philosophers is frowned upon. We want to hear what YOU have to say, not what some constipated, impotent, dead guy dreamt up while suffering from the DT's over a hundred years ago thought.

Default The Bill of Rights and Interrogation

The 5th Amendment of our constitution states that Americans have the freedom from self incrimination. Then when my house gets burned down accidentily, they use a rapid-fire technique of interrogation. This technique is designed to throw you off and say the wrong thing.

Isn't the rapid-fire technique of interrogation a clear violation of the 5th amendment? If not, should it be, since its obvious purpose is to trip you up and get you to say incriminating things? Does anybody agree with me that the system sucks?

You could have asserted your 5th amendment privlige, and not said anything.

It protects you from not incriminating yourself, not from other people trying to get you to incriminate yourself. "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you..."
