I promise to be brief

This is a good synopsis.  I'm not much of a fan of anyone who trys to game the system. It is like kicking your ball in the rough while playing golf. You can be in the woods behind a tree with a snake coiled around the golfball and you damn well play it where it lies. Otherwise it isn't golf. It is "what you can get away with when no one is looking". That is a different game. Sure there are more miscreants that are going to get stomped on here and so be it.  They were playing a game with no rules or, if there were some, they didn't seem to apply.

Perhaps the thing that pisses most of us off is their feeling of entitlement and empowerment....these Masters of the Universe have thier own set of rules - none.  I don't like that. My friends don't like that.  We have pitchforks and hoes, and peasants though we may be, we can still chase a monster through the forest.
