HOUSTON (FOX 26) - Believe it or not, the US Marshals Service in Houston is arresting people for not paying their outstanding federal student loans.

this could affect Texas members or ...people elsewhere if the practice spreads

(1,937 posts)even more scary or sad is that the legal system is being used
ie..private contractors are using courts to make US marshals (i know a few, have met more) who are not always the nicest boys/girls out there to do the 'recover/recoup'
on the person's own dime
ie..they send you a bill for taking you into custody!

(18,577 posts)A favorite of mine is from Churchill: "If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."
A good quote as well from Emiliano Zapata:

(1,937 posts)i have a few places like that too, usually i don't post them on DU
they are either too 'violent' or too 'rebellious'
the army (not US) taught me in their 'indoctrination' 'we fight for the right of the people and the LAW in that order'

(18,577 posts)The chorus from El novio de la muerte
(Death's Bridegroom)
Anthem of the Spanish Legion
"I am a man whom fortune
Struck with a beast's paw;"
I spent some time in Malaga, heard some stories.
It's a sad song but then they all are.
Death's Bridegroom
No one in the Regiment knew
Who was that Legionary
So bold and daring
That he came to join the Legion.
No one knew his story,
Yet the Legion knew
That a great pain gnawed
Like a wolf, at his heart.
Yet if anyone asked who he was
He would reply reluctantly and sternly:
I am a man whom fortune
Struck with a beast's paw;
I am death's bridegroom
Who is to be joined in a strong bond
With such a faithful sweetheart.
When the fire and fighting
Were at their fiercest,
Defending his Flag
The legionary advanced.
And without fearing the onslaught
Of the exalted enemy
He died bravely
And rescued the ensign.
And as he soaked the burning ground with his blood,
The legionary murmured in a mournful voice:
I am a man whom fortune
Struck with a beast's paw;
I am death's bridegroom
Who is to be joined in a strong bond
With such a faithful sweetheart.
When his body was finally recovered
They found on his chest
A letter and a picture
Of a beautiful woman.
And that letter read:
"... if one day God calls you,
Save a place for me
I will soon find you."
And in the last kiss that she sent him
She bid him a final goodbye.
Just to be by your side
My most faithful sweetheart,
I became death's bridegroom,
I am now bound to her with a strong bond
And her love was my Flag.

"You are the cheap junk thrown into junk and sidewalks.
you are the gutter snipes called upon to become a person"
