Tenn. man on death row despite high court ruling

ROSSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Multiple sclerosis has Paul House in a wheelchair. A tenacious prosecutor has him on death row, deemed too dangerous to be released two years after the U.S. Supreme Court said he likely isn’t guilty.

Ahhh, the gooferment!

Even when it concedes it’s wrong. It won’t let go of it’s victim.

And, you trust this gang?

I hope we all take a moment on the Memorial Day Monday.

Not because some politician tells us we should at 3pm for their agenda. But, because we allowed undeclared wars to happen in our name and good people acted on what we said we needed.

I plan to take that moment to:

* Pray for all the boys and girls who gave their lives for what they believed in.

* Recognize the ongoing sacrifices being made.

* Value the ‘breakage’ in the wounded; insist that ‘we’ do right by them.

* Grieve with all the families that are picking up afterwards.

* And, finally, hope that we all begin to hold the politicians accountable for their words and actions that put ‘our people’ in harm’s way in our name.

You know if I could I’d bring them all home on Tuesday – Wednesday latest.

I will pray they all come home in one piece.

And that ‘we’ get back to a Department of Defense and return to the Constitutional America of Liberty. We seem to have lost our way.

What will you do – or what did you do – on Monday? Picnic and party? Listen to more political rhetoric? Forget it all and vacation? Tube out?

Sadly,
An tired old fool

Gay marriage opponents vow to fight Calif. ruling
May 16 11:21 AM US/Eastern
By LISA LEFF Associated Press Writer

***Begin Quote***

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Even as same-sex couples across California begin making plans to tie the knot, opponents are redoubling their efforts to make sure wedding bells never ring for gay couples in the nation’s most populous state.

*** and ***

With a stroke of a pen Thursday, the Republican-dominated court swept away decades of tradition and said there was no legally justifiable reason why the state should withhold the institution of marriage because of a couple’s sexual orientation.

The 4-3 opinion written by Chief Justice Ronald George said domestic partnerships that provide many of the rights and benefits of matrimony are not enough.

“In contrast to earlier times, our state now recognizes that an individual’s capacity to establish a loving and long-term committed relationship with another person and responsibly to care for and raise children does not depend upon the individual’s sexual orientation,” George wrote for the majority in ringing language that delighted gay rights activists.

Gay marriage opponents, meanwhile, derided the ruling as an example of judicial overreaching in which the opinions of a few justices trumped the will of Californians.

The last time the state’s voters were asked to express their views on same-sex marriage at the ballot box was in 2000, the year after the Legislature enacted the first of a series of laws awarding spousal rights to domestic partners.

Proposition 22, which strengthened the state’s 1978 one-man, one-woman marriage law with the words “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California,” passed with 61 percent of the vote.

The Supreme Court’s ruling Thursday struck down both statutes.

With all due respect to all the passions involved, the State has NO BUSINESS in the regulating of marriage!

The exact quote framing “Patriot Rock” is:

“I never saw the brothers again. In time, this war, like every other war, ended. But I never forgot, and I come to this place often, when no one else does.”

“In the early days of world war 3, guerrillas, mostly children, placed the names of their lost upon this rock. They fought here alone; And gave up their lives, So that this nation shall not perish from the earth.”

A most moving ending!

MP suggests decriminalising hard drugs
By Andy Whelan

***Begin Quote***

Brighton Kemptown MP Des Turner has called for hard drugs to be legalised.

The Labour MP spoke out after an investigation by The Argus lifted the lid on street dealing in Brighton and Hove.

Reporter Andy Whelan bought heroin from a man in one of Hove’s main shopping streets. And it took him just 26 minutes to obtain the drug.

Dr Turner’s comments come after details of yet another young victim of the city’s heroin trade were revealed.

An inquest into the death of Tania Meires heard that heroin in Brighton was so pure that injecting it was like “playing Russian roulette every time”.

***End Quote***

I’m against drug addiction. But, it’s a MEDICAL problem.

Passing laws against it is as effective as passing a law repealing gravity.

How stupid are we?

How many children must die? How many lives ruined? How many unintended consequences have to be endured?

Laws don’t change behaviors. They just raise and shift the costs!

We, in effect, have a random death sentence for drug experimentation.

How stupid are we?

A Way for All States To End REAL-ID
by Thomas Andrew Olson

***Begin Quote***

Libertarians have long lobbied for an end to state-mandated driver licensing. Here is a new opportunity to put that idea back on the table. After all, which is more important, rigid control over driver licensing, or the imposition of a biometric police-state national identity card? State legislatures, even those who are already on record opposing REAL-ID, could simply slip out from under the law’s requirements by closing their licensing agencies for good, and either farming out certain functions to private-sector contractors, or eliminating them entirely.

I have often advocated that the insurance companies would be best suited, with the most self-interest, in registering cars and drivers. They do my annual policy renewal quickly and easily for ‘free’.

How much could it cost to have them make some tin advertising for the front and back of every car?

Certainly not our freedoms!

Remember after papers, came death camps in Germany and Russia.

I hear you saying it can’t happen here! Who says? It has. thnk about the prisons.

Opinion: I want to live in a surveillance society
Mike Elgan
January 03, 2008 (Computerworld) I

***Begin Quote***

There are many situations where I’d like to see surveillance legalized, normalized or even required, including:

* Interaction with police: When we get pulled over, it should be perfectly legal to openly videotape the entire conversation, as well as when we’re questioned or interrogated. They’ve got a dash cam or interrogation room camera pointed at us. We should have one pointed at them, too. (The knowledge that such cameras are allowed might prevent abuse like this.)

* Any interaction between caregiver and child: When babies and children or seniors or others who for whatever reason aren’t able to defend themselves are potential targets for abuse, it should be legal for their parents or other relatives to secretly tape encounters with caregivers and use those recordings as evidence in court.

* Anytime politicians meet with lobbyists: Why not use required surveillance to expose or prevent backdoor wheeling and dealing? When our representatives meet with special interest groups, corporate executives or other people out to buy influence, it’s not something that’s personal or private for the elected politician. There should be special lobbyist meeting rooms with cameras running 24/7. If congressmen and others meet with lobbyists outside the rooms, they go to jail for corruption. This is the people’s business, and we have the right to know all about those conversations.

* Court: It should be our right to record any public hearing or courtroom proceeding. If the public is invited, then banning video cameras and voice recorders is only to reduce the accountability of the judge (rather than, say, to protect the privacy of the accused). Why should judges be granted this protection?

* Your own phone calls: It’s legal to secretly record your own phone calls in 38 states (plus the District of Columbia). But it’s illegal in the other 12 states: California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Washington. You can record calls only if you get the consent of the other person on the phone. But I think all rights and protections involving your home (such as the right to keep security cameras and other cameras running without announcing the fact to visitors) apply to your home phone as well — and your cell phone, too, for that matter.

Seems only fair. How can we “prove” their misconduct? And, they always misbehave.

California’s 2nd District Court of Appeal on Feb. 28 declared the parents of most of that state’s 166,000 home-schooled children to be outlaws, ruling the law requires parents to send their children to full-time state-certified public or private schools or else have them taught at home by “credentialed” tutors – which most home-school parents, presumably, aren’t.

“California courts have held that … parents do not have a constitutional right to homeschool their children,” Justice H. Walter Croskey said in the 3-0 ruling, which makes it clear those parents can be criminally prosecuted for failing to comply.

And did Judge Croskey and his black-robed ruling-class pals say this was because the home-schoolers weren’t doing as well at teaching reading, writing and ‘rithmetic?

Of course not. They couldn’t say that, because tests consistently shows home-school kids, taught by parents without state “certificates” or licenses, score 30 to 37 percentile points higher than their public school peers across all subjects.

So why ban home-schooling, if the academic results are far better?

Judge Croskey obligingly explained: “A primary purpose of the educational system is to train school children in good citizenship, patriotism and loyalty to the state and the nation as a means of protecting the public welfare.”

***End Quote***

Oops, did the judge let the cat out of the bag?

Gooferment skools are youth propaganda camps. Stalin and Mao would be so proud. And, Kruschev was right. The Communists won!
