I would hope that hate mail is not a factor in this case. That would be a very dangerous trend.
"Hate mail" is probably the wrong term here. I meant mail telling the govt. "Hey, Nifong is way out of line and you need to do something here," not the crazy stuff.
"I would hope that hate mail is not a factor in this case. That would be a very dangerous trend."
What trend is that; the trend of public officials being held accountable by the people they represent?
