FREE ENTERPRISE, n. A system in which a few are born owning billions, most
are
born owning nothing, and all compete to accumulate wealth and power. If those

with nothing fail, it is due to their personal defects.
POLITICAL DISSIDENT, n. A courageous, praiseworthy individual who challenges
political and social evils - in other countries. Political dissidents do not,
of course, exist in the United States, instead, we are cursed with
"peaceniks,"
"eco-freaks," "commies," "eco-terrorists," "outside agitators," "unpatriotic
malcontents," and "Unamerican cry-babies."
RESISTING ARREST, ger. The legal charge levelled against citizens subjected
to
"reasonable force" by policemen when the only witnesses to the act are other
policemen.
PERJURY, n. A common leisure time activity of policemen.
ASSAULTING AN OFFICER, ger. A legal charge resulting from a vicious attack on
six uninjured, beefy cops by an unarmed, 150-pound, half-beaten-to-death
assailant. While such assaults are common, it remains a mystery as to why,
invariably, the only witnesses to such attacks are the assaulted police
officers.
REASONABLE FORCE, n. A police term which normally refers to an unwitnessed
beating or murder. The exact meaning, however, will vary considerably
depending
upon the victim's race and economic status.
