Comment on Passing the buck on Paul Ezra Rhoades’ execution by Gcl

I’m opposed to anyone taking someone else’s life. I’m not talking about the state taking his, I’m talking about him killing three innocent people. Maybe they should have made him work his ass off while we were supporting him for the last 20 plus years. Work him so hard he’d be begging to die and then keep him alive. I don’t know, but it’s not fair what he did and I feel awful for those families!

Very thoughtful post. Thank-you.

I am generally ok with the death penalty, for reasons I won’t expound on here, as you chose not to in your blog post. I don’t change my mind easily, but I too am troubled by the amount of overturned death penalty cases, and the fact that having a public defender makes you much more likely to get capital punishment.

My answer on that is to change the system so that every death penalty trial spends as least as much time and money (at public expense) on the defense as it does on the prosecution, or maybe more to balance the little bit harder jury that you tend to get when you ask people if they are willing to kill some one for their crimes.

Just my half formed thoughts on the matter.

Peace.

I go every month I can make it as I advocate for those in Prison and
those wrongfully taken to jail and trial here in Ada County/City of
Boise, Idaho. Do you really think Rhoades is not guilty? This piece of trash need to be killed like a mad dog. Stop your bleeding heart crap Fahitchcock & Nathaniel Hoffman. I wonder just how your opinion of Rhoades would be if it had been you wife or daughter this deranged fool had raped, tortured, and killed? You bleeding hearts need to read the court transcripts of the things this mad man did to the pregnant lady Susan. I dont care to hear back your bullshit about he did his time, he found God, and all your other crap. Lets kill the bastard and be done with it.

Nathaniel, you know me and that I converted to Catholic(ism) in my later life here in Boise and my Prosecution/Persecution by those in such denomination/demonation/cult in order to silence me about my daughters abuse by her catechist/teacher. The Gov Butch was a fellow usher with me for years at un-holy apostles/apostates catholic church in Meridian, Idaho where I get a letter each year since being arrested there for trespassing at my own parish at the time on the Friday before Palm Sunday in 2004 so the abuser man’s mother, the parish nursing director to whom one reports sexual misconduct of a minor, and the priest did not want me to talk to anyone about the man’s abuse and our report to Ada County Prosecutors and the Boise Police and his admission to them.

This is to give background information on the “Holy Season” coming upon us…the first Sunday of “Advent” begins just after Thanksgiving on November 27, 2011. This is the church/cult’s season to repent and be given absolution from sins…by the priests who supposedly stand in for the christ in whom they say they believe. Services of “reconciliation” are held at all the catholic churches so the parishioners may go “confess” their “sins and faults” and “repent” and “do penance” as the priest hears their “confession”. Then they may hear from the priest “your sins are forgiven, go and sin no more” and “absolution” is given for a few words of “prayer”.

This “advent” and “lenten” time of forgiveness and denial of one’s self is violated it means a “mortal sin unto death” meaning the “sin” can NEVER be forgiven and therefore not forgiven by God himself!!! The hypocrite Otter can excuse himself by being out of town or casting the thought that his power to Commute this man’s sentence to life behind bars is “trumped” by the Idaho Pardons and Parole Board. It is before the “holy season of advent”…he can therefore go to a priest and be ever so earthly/humanly convincing of his sincerity of the great “OOPS”, now “I’m so sorry and regretful”. and he will be “absolved” on this “earth” by a “priest” speaking for “god”…you can be assured this man will feel no guilt from that day on…it trumps and conscience/moral or State or Federal Law and you can be assured he can go directly to the bishop michael driscol who has said the catholic church does not condone this death sentence and be received into the inner sanctum of the church fresh as a new born baby.

The reason the Church’s and Ada County/ Boise City dropped the “Criminal Libel Case against me the day the jury was to be picked is because they could not come forward on an even more “Holy Day of Obligation” during Advent, “Our Lady of Guadalupe” day…if they had come forward to Lie like they had been on that very day and during that “holy season”, they would have been doomed by their own actions and words. This is just some background on those who are running the “dog and pony show” from the Political seats. Brad is of course Mormon and really just skirting the issue.

I will be at the Idaho Criminal Justice Commission tomorrow at 8AM at the Boise Spectrum’s Hampton Inn location. I go every month I can make it as I advocate for those in Prison and those wrongfully taken to jail and trial here in Ada County/City of Boise, Idaho.

Comment on The trope: A new, basic unit of journalism by Nathaniel Hoffman

Well, sure hypertext is part of it Greg, but the problem is organizing pages and links into a useful, understandable medium and anticipating how people will consume “news” online in 2, 5, 10 years. What is the best use of 1963 hypertext for presenting 2012 news events?

Gee, it sounds a lot like “hypertext,” a term coined by Ted Nelson in 1963 and more relevant by the day…http://www.livinginternet.com/w/wi_nelson.htm

there were only two clinically approved and FDA sanctioned uses for the drug. The first was for the treatment of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), and the second was for short-term use to treat gross obesity.

Comment on John Ross in Mexico by Garry

I of course read of this wonderful person’s illness in his book El Monstruo that I am once again rereading now that I have lived in Mexico for one year. I live in Morelia which is but a short distance from where he went to pass on.

I was so hoping for my own selfish reasons that he not pass from this world since I felt there was much more that he had to write about the changes that are happening right now in Mexico. We still need his sort of courage here.
