"It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage, than the creation of a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institutions and merely lukewarm defenders in those who would gain by the new ones." Machiavelli
NicknamesBy DIA, Section News
If you are arrested, who decides if your nickname is reported in the press? Is that the reporter's choice? Does the person who has been arrested get to request that their nickname be included? Who verifies that the information is correct and that accused isn't lying to try to make themselves look good? Like saying your nickname was "Jesus" or say "Buddha"? Are they asked for the proper spellings? Do the nicknames appear on their driver's licenses? Does having a nickname make you appear like a criminal? How come it is usually young black men who get their nicknames in the paper? Or mafia members. We get plenty of politicians arrested in this town but we never get their nick names? But they have them. Wouldn't it be helpful to know if the guy who was drunk and sleeping with an intern had a nickname so that we could more easily judge him? Does having a nickname reported in the press make you seem guilty? Perhaps the intern had a nickname? That would be good to know, right?
