  • Why do police officers ask if you want to "press charges"?

    The state (i.e. the prosecutor and/or grand jury) decides if charges are filed against someone or not, so why do police officers ask complaining witnesses if they want to 'press charges'? It leaves the general public under the wrong impression that citizens can 'press charges'. Why do you do that???

  • What does everyone think of GM forcing employees to park non-GM cars in a separate lot?

    The separate lot is as far from the building as possible. The company claims that this is to prevent passers-by from seeing non GM vehicles in the GM lot, however the lot is right by the road that runs in front of the plant! GM vehicles assembled in foreign countries do not have to park in the separate lot. American made cars made by UAW members at Ford and Chrysler must park in the separate lot.

    This plant does their mowing with a Ford tractor, and hauls their products to and from the plant in Volvo semis.
