I have tried to keep this book a factual, documented indictment of government misconduct; and I failed. There is no way that I can hide the layers of disappointment and anger at years of failure to bring even a small measure of Social Justice to the rural communities of Tompkins County.

If there are inconsistencies in style and editing; they are intentional — because I did not want to read too closely; and remember too vividly.

The need for Justice is like a glowing coal; still waiting for the fuel to blaze up.
