Does This Thing Work?

Does this thing work? (Mr. Dickie)

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely, or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature, and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. (Anne Frank)

There's a big mess in Prince George's County, Maryland. A couple of young punks in a stolen pickup truck ran down a policeman and killed him. After the police apprehended the alleged driver they put him in an isolation cell. Over the weekend he turned up dead. Last night they announced that he died of strangulation. Someone in that jail had access to the prisoner and killed him. The state police and the FBI will handle the investigation. People will lose their jobs, someone will go to jail and the family of the accused will win a million dollar civil rights law suit at the expense of the residents of the county. Things continue to go from bad to worse.
