    An update to this story. Our friend received her sentencing. Our local rag which has coverage over half the state makes it looks so benign, she got probation (yeah, with a potential 24 years hanging over her head if probation fails). Parts of her probation include that her husband can no longer have firearms if they stay married, they can come into their home at anytime without a warrant, she has to provide them with her e-mail and social media passwords, she must give them 5 days notice that she is leaving the state, blah blah, blah, blah. She might end up with the last laugh however because she's out on one of the reservations right now doing her community service and the Indians like her being a doctor and don't like the state attorney general. We'll see...

    I wrote a letter-to-the editor to our rag but they won't publish it because its too long. They limit letters to the editor are 300 words and guest columns 500-700 words. Mine is 1,100 words. I won't post it here because its probably too political (although I took it past state corruption to abuses of power at the federal level and gave some current examples of that) but I'll try the last paragraph. Pretty generic but still pointed I think:

    So, as we have recently celebrated our “Independence Day” from foreign tyranny several centuries in the past, let us keep in mind that perhaps we have allowed tyranny back in, this time not from a foreign source but from our own inability to keep our governmental leaders and their bureaucracies corralled as servants of us instead of our rulers by their ability to bring governmental power to bear against us. Something for us to think hard about instead of taking in the 4th of July as a time of pretty fireworks and family picnics. Freedom and democracy is hard work and the vast majority of us, myself included, have for far too long allowed the elites of political power and the bureaucracies they create and maintain to operate on their own with no effective supervision. If our liberty is to continue throughout the 21st century, this must change…
