Topic Police State Much?
Posted 18 Jun 2011 13:25
I think we can agree that there are corrupt, incompetent people in any profession. Speaking only for myself, I am pro-cop. I have been pulled over by the police- as my husband has and found the officers to be nothing short of polite and professional. I've never had a problem with those in authority.
I feel safe wearing a cross or other religious icon and I don't feel as if my rights are imposed upon or threatened. I'm not saying abuses don't and can't happen, I'm stating that by my personal experience, I've never felt intimidated or threatened by law enforcement.
I live in the USA.

I truly hope the police are able to identify those that are on camera. Bring them in, make them talk, get the rest.

It would be super difficult to write using someone else's characters. When an author imagines characters, they imagine things about that character they aren't explicitly going to state in the story. That person comes to life in their head as full fledged person. I have no idea about the character Rachel from any other stand point of just reading your story and hearing your limited (that's a relative term, in this case relative to actually having thought of the character myself) description.
Anyone who asks to use a character, would only really be using the name, and the association others held with the name. The new author would be completely redoing an entire character. So much to the point that it wouldn't even be the same character.
This is why novels that are translated from books are always better if the author has some sort of creative participation, they are able to give the casting directors insights into what they imagined the character to be outside of what was written.
Doll's post intrigued me.=D
Exactly, I never wanted my stories embellished. I know how I see my characters and I'm quite possessive of them- if there is such a thing as being possessive about a fictional character.

This reminds me of the Y2K scare of 1999 and all the "predictions" that went along with that. I'm not sure what's worse, the people who make the predictions or the media feeding and/or analyzing them.
