    You mean like how FOP Lodge #7 and the Firefighters do their transparent screening?

    The only people dumb enough to whine about transparency are the ones who don't know how to play the game.

      Thank you for at least acknowledging it’s a game. The irony is the job they seek demands fairness and impartiality. Nothing mysterious happens to your character and values once you don the robe. If being a game player is how you got on the bench, the game playing will continue.
