No, I did not in fact fall off the face of the earth. I'm still here just busy. But I was watching The Practice last night and it got me thinking. They were talking about the death penalty. In this episode there was a 19 year old black man who was a drug dealer and in the process of attempting to kill a rival drug dealer, he killed an innocent bystander. Bad thing, yes. He went before a Judicial Committee to determine if the death penalty should be applied. After much argument and pleading and whatnot, the committee decided that the death penalty wasn't applicable in this case. After all of that, the Attourney General, our old friend John Ashcroft sends a letter saying that they are ignoring the recommendations of the committee and they are going to execute this kid anyway. Apparently this is common practice with him these days. Now I didn't know this and I haven't researched it yet but it doesn't in the least bit surprise me. The hypocracy of conservatives is one of my stumping boards and I think I will whack on it a little bit now.
WHY do they think that government shouldn't be allowed to regulate guns but they should be allowed to regulate marriage. WHY do they think that Right to Life means saving fetal tissue and executing living humans? WHY do they say that they want to move more responsibility down to the state level and then turn right around and usurp state's sovreignity whenever it suits their needs?
I don't agree with their agenda. I think they are all a bunch of evil, arrogant, elitist, bigots who want all the poor/disabled people to die so they can save money on social programs. But for the love of Mike AT LEAST they could be CONSISTENT in their villany!!!!!!!!!!!
