I posted this on my FB page tonight:
So, the SD Medical Board yanked Annette Bosworth's license this evening. Surprise, knowing how the things were already stacked by the unholy alliance of corrupt one-party 40 year rule and the medical-industrial complex even though Annette spoke eloquently how she has served the underprivileged in this state, often out of her own wallet. I know some of you don't like her because of her politics and some are sick of this story but I dare you to read this essay from U.S. News & World Report, hardly the flagship media outlet of the hard right. I like the writer's last paragraph:
"Though we might like to think so, Bosworth's case is not exactly as isolated as it would seem. Zealous prosecutors and law enforcement officials across the country are bending if not breaking the rules outright to compile impressive conviction rates, secure headlines and satisfy personal urges. This is not justice; this is the rule of man over the rule of law, and it must not be tolerated."
I'll add a couple of my own: selective enforcement of the law and/or selective prosecution by the state (generic,any scale) is a very, very bad thing for democracy in the long run. When a majority of people no longer believes that democracy works for them or even if a critical mass is reached, then Katie bar the door...
