Why do I have to be on a "Team"?

You, felon foulks, are on the felon team. You are a criminal. You are a violent man. You live in a gutter. You've accomplished virtually nothing in life, and you know little other than to try to tear down those who are doing things that benefit society.

I am not on a "Team". I have no "Coach", no "Manager". I support groups: UTCC and CPTDA come to mind right away. What do I "bring to the table"? Try 40 years of experience in the taxi industry. That's longer than you've been alive. I also have some rather extensive education and ability to speak and write in the English language, enough to be of use to a lot of cab drivers who have trouble expressing themselves at times. I have my uses.

On the other hand, the only use you seem to have is to bite at the throats of those who try to do things for cabdrivers. Why not stop the foaming at the mouth?

Donald Nathan

You tell us why, Mr. Nathan.

Mr. Nathan,

Why don't you tell us why you have to be on a "team"? I certainly never suggested that you must.

I think any "team" with you on it is a "team" in trouble.

You wrote: "You, felon foulks, are on the felon team."

I am a wrongfully-convicted felon, Mr. Nathan. Thers is no "felon team".

You wrote: "You are a criminal."

I am not a criminal.

You wrote: "You are a violent man."

I have never even been arrested or charged with a violent crime.

You wrote: "You live in a gutter."

I live at the Chinatown Hotel. It isn't "the gutter" or a "flophouse".

You wrote: "You've accomplished virtually nothing in life."

You know nothing of what I have or haven't "acomplished in life", Mr. Nathan.

You wrote: "you know little other than to try to tear down those who are doing things that benefit society."

I know little of what little you've done to "benefit" cabdrivers. There's nothing of yours to "tear down". Whine, whine, whine.


What you really "bring to the table" Mr. Nathan is a condescending attitude and an arrogance which doesn't match your contributions, real or imagined.

Your "uses"? You are virtually useless, Mr. Nathan. You have proved incapable of defending cabdrivers' interests at 400 W. Superior.

I am not "foaming at the mouth", Mr. Nathan. I am not a "dog".

However, Mr. Nathan, if you were a "dog foaming at the mouth", I wouldn't hesitate to "put you down".

In fact, I think I just did.

See posting above

Read the posting above. It says it all. Low lives deserve no responses. All of foulks assaults are being quoted verbatim to those who need to read them.

You are never going to control my thought processes

You can delete my postings or ban me from your site, but you will never censor or control my thoughts. I have no intention of continuing to post. It is evident that you do not want information to reach the eyes of cab drivers and others in the taxi industry through your forum from my pen.

There are other avenues of communication: the UTCC Voice; the Taxi Website for national communicatons; Wolf Weiss' CPTDA website. And I have other means of making myself heard.

If I have something to say that seems important, perhaps I will post it. But I think I will just join Weiss and boycott your forum, George. I wish you well with your One Big Union. I'll watch from the sidelines to see how hit goes and keep reading the Dispatcher when I pick it up out of the ashcan of Baba Palace. God knows I won't pay for it.

Re: You are never going to control my thought processes

"But I think I will just join Weiss and boycott your forum, George."

I literally laughed out loud when I read this. Don, when did Wolf decide to boycott this site? After I banned him a month ago?

That comment was so funny that I have decided to lift Wolf's ban from this site. There's no need to ban him if he's boycotting it.

Simple answer - No. Read Illinois Supreme Court Rule 402

The short answer is "NO". Read Illinois Supreme Court Rule 402. That having been said, there is a whole body of case law about people who claim their voluntary plea was really involuntrary. Since the area of law is not one in which I practice routinely, I am reluctant to comment on it at length.

A specialist in the area of criminal defense law should comment. Over the years, I have probably handled no more than 20 misdemeanor cases for cabdrivewrs and no felonies.

Re: Simple answer - No. Read Illinois Supreme Court Rule 402

Thank You for the answer Don. I for one didn't think a court would accept an involuntary guilty plea. Usually the question of one that pleads guilty is if this is of your own free will.

So what?

What if Enger is posting under those names? He's saying the right thing. Who cares what he wants to call himself?
