Hugh, I too share in prayer for you and your family.
As far as the legal system, and local government in general, I totally and whole heartily agree. I have seen it with my own eyes.
Whenever I get angry about injustice, I listen to "Cottonseed" by the Drive by Truckers.
Good luck with your health and in resolving your continued struggles.
And remember, just because God doesn't show up in the way we ask Him to, doesn't mean He hasn't shown up at all. His plan and timing is best, even if things get scarier more than better for a while.
