Justice System

I read an article about someone contesting their DUI because there was no legal definition of a "lane." So, he shouldn't have been pulled over because there was no way to prove that he was drifting out of a "lane" that wasn't clearly defined.
Why our we bothering with arguing over stupid definitions when the justice system is supposed to be deciding if they were guilty? Why do cases get dismissed over little technicalities instead of truly being evaluated for truth? Why can't people just accept responsibility for their dumb decisions? I understand there needs to be due process, privacy, etc. However, since when did the state need to establish a legal definition of a lane? Can't Webster's do just fine?
I also don't like that one person (aka "The Judge") has so much power. Why does that one person get to decide the fate of millions? Who made them the source of all wisdom? I understand the majority is not always right, but usually the majority of people want what's best for their community.

People at odds

I find it very interesting that I find so many articles and advertising about "Go Green!" We don't want to pollute the planet. We don't want to use products with funny chemicals, etc, etc
Yet, I also find articles about protecting your kids from bacteria and other harmful substances. "One hand towel used multiple times. A single towel used just once." The disposable, sterilized and BPA-free Steri-Bottle. Sterile spring water in the disposable bottle. Etc, etc.
I have no problem with trying to keep waste down. I recycle. I don't, however, seek out "green" products. I also believe in hygiene and washing stuff. However, I also believe bacteria can help build a stronger immune system. We're all alive and well at my house, so I'm in no hurry to change my habits.
So, we're filling our landfills with products only used once? So, does their lower bacteria count make it worth it? Which do you follow?

The beach

We also went to the beach with my family. The first couple of days were not very warm! I don't think the temperature got above about 74. So, we weak adults mostly stayed out of the water. Kids have no care for temperature and played in the water without a problem. However, the sun finally came out from behind the clouds on our last day there, and we were able to warm up. I ventured out into the waves and had a great time. Who knew wet suits were so wonderful?! The kids had a lot of fun rearranging the sand. Marie loved the water. Peter did not. We had a lot of fun!

Disneyland!

We recently went to Disneyland with my family. We had a lot of fun! Of course, we went "Four-kids-5-and-younger" pace. Scott and I took turns going on "big kid" rides most of the time. Occasionally we were lucky and had someone else to go with so we didn't have to be alone. Even more rare we actually were able to ride together when someone watched our kids. Richard was tall enough to go on quite a few new rides. However, his courage was not quite up to snuff. He was scared! He told me "I'm just not used to going that fast!" We ran them ragged but had a wonderful time.
