B: Oh, Stockton.
A: Oh, okay.
B: How about you?
A: Uh, Cincinnati, actually.
A: I was kind of wondering if they would be collecting people with, uh, the western accents or something like that.
A: I don't know how many people are, uh, getting involved in this
A: but uh, well that's interesting.
B: Uh-huh.
A: I'm, uh, uh, actually, uh, I was kind of interested if you found out about the study by, uh, reading TELECOM DIGEST
A: or was there another?
B: Uh, a colleague of mine at, uh, work got some information over, uh, the computer network called INTERNET.
A: Oh, okay.
A: Yeah,
A: that is how I got it as well
A: but, uh,
B: And he just forwarded that on to me
B: and, uh, it sounded like it would be an interesting project to participate in
A: Uh-huh.
B: so I sent back mail.
A: Yeah,
A: it will be interesting to see what, It would be interesting to see how the data base,
A: so, well, I guess we're talking about the experiment.
B: Uh-huh.
A: Uh, probably need to try to get back on the topic
A: but, uh, it's hard to talk about finances without without getting to, uh, dollar figures I guess you know,
B: Uh-huh.
A: we could talk about some of the long range goals
A: and,
B: Well what other long range goals do you have besides college?
A: Uh, well I think, either my wife or I would like to pursue advanced degrees at some point
B: Uh-huh.
A: uh, I guess we will have to factor that in if we are not working for employers that happen to fund that.
A: It seems like every year my employer just gives back, you know, a little bit your tuition reimbursement.
B: Uh-huh.
A: I mean they use to reimburse one hundred percent
A: and now it's, uh, now it's reimbursement depending on the grade you get in class
A: and, uh, it's a real shame from what we had before, uh, because we're,
A: Right,
A: uh, actually I lived over in Europe for a couple of years,
A: I lived in Germany
A: and in Germany they don't have the jury system.
A: What they do is they have, uh, three judges, basically.
A: And you get up there
A: and the prosecuting attorney presents his evidence
A: and your defense attorney presents their evidence
A: and those three guys take the evidence, go off, figure it out and then come back and say whether you're guilty or not.
B: our judicial system is in such total chaos.
B: I think what they need to do is, they need to somehow take the money out of it.
B: I mean, when you have a man that's signed a, a, a statement saying he's guilty,
B: we have a, a family called All day family.
B: They were all murdered.
A: Uh-huh.
B: All the people signed confessions,
B: they went to a trial by jury.
B: They been trying these people now for twenty-two years, ever since I was a child.
A: Wow.
B: And what they've done is they've bought Mercedes after Mercedes after Mercedes is what they've done,
B: has nothing to do with justice whatsoever.
A: Well, you know, it's, it's one of those things,
A: I mean, uh, uh, I would have to look at it.
A: if they did it with the, uh, just the judges, the police have to do a lot better job of making sure that their evidence is airtight
A: because the judges sitting in that kind of stuff day after day, they know all the procedures,
A: they know what's good and what isn't,
A: they'd be able to say, I'm sorry,
A: you can't use this as, uh, evidence, you know, because it was either illegally obtained or whatever
A: and, you know, you wouldn't have this, uh, uh, theatrics where the lawyer jumps up and presents it to the, to the jury
A: and then the judge says, oh, no,
A: disregard that.
A: Come on,
A: any jury's not going to disregard the evidence, you know
B: Uh, that's true.
B: I, I, I think our judicial system is attorney welfare myself.
A: That may very well be.
B: I, I hold it in the utmost contempt.
A: Uh,
B: The, uh, my favorite is the police department,
B: they're not aimed at the criminal.
B: The judicial system is aimed at the citizens
B: because you and I, we have work schedules,
B: we can be called at work,
B: we have Social Security numbers,
B: they can trace us down,
B: we have telephones,
B: then we have checkbooks.
B: Criminals have none of these things.
B: They're real difficult to catch,
B: and if they do catch them, they don't get any monetary gain out of it, whereas us, we write a check.
A: Yeah.
B: So where do you think they target their efforts?
A: That's true.
B: They target their efforts toward the citizens not the criminals.
A: Well, How would you go about changing it?
B: You know, that's a,
B: I've nailed the problem down
B: but I,
A: Leave the details up to somebody else, huh.
B: Yeah,
B: I'm going to have to leave those details like, what would you do about,
B: I think, to begin with, you would you would have,
B: like, here in Atlanta area, our crime rate is just astronomical,
