  6. My question is that was the jury, during voir dire, qualified for the death penalty ... i.e. did all of them suggest that they could in good conscious inflict the death penalty. My understanding is that in many jurisdictions - including Georgia - it is legal for the prosecutor to ask if the person is against the death penalty and dismiss every single jurors who said yes, for cause and without limit. pubby

  14. Well Read. What is shocking to me is that you cited a statistic that police killed 111 civilians in the last month alone. For the record, the Iraqi War lasted 8 years; and in only eight of those months was the casualty rate in this all-out war greater than 100 deaths. The 111 civilian deaths here would rank as the fifth most deadly month as well (the most deadly being 137 in Nov. 2004). This begs the question, given the demographics of the victims, are we in the middle of a race war but no one thought it important enough to mention it? pubby
  15. I think you all invented me calling stradial a racist. I think you need to re-read what was written. I even went to lengths to say they weren't racist for posting it. But that doesn't mean that pointing out the failures of these folks that just happen to be black doesn't feed the racist narrative that exists as part of a self-fulfilling prophesy. (Read about the concept here.) He feels misunderstood ... and I feel misunderstood. Now I'm going to say that an inordinate number of black youths internalize this as their self-image. And it is absolutely true that black you
  16. Heck Zorro, I thought you'd be pleased to see that I am finally giving those on the far right proper respect for their Machiavellian machinations ... or at least not thinking they are so dense as to not consider such tactics. I think the situation with the coming SCOTUS sellout of the far right on the gay marriage issue - it is coming - the logical thing for the right wing political strategists to do is turn this 'defeat' into a rallying point for the die hard believers in old testament Christianity ... like they did Roe v. Wade. Lawsuits, as we saw in the assault on the local airport
  17. He's dead.He doesn't count. He was a failure. We are all still here low ... what lesson do you draw in thinking about him? What does his life say about people who look like him? If he is this sorry piece of shiit that you claim, why do we spend even a second dealing with him? What agenda does highlighting his failure aid? Bringing him up and making him an object of derision has not one thing to do with that piece of meat lying on a slab in some morgue. It has to do with us. I didn't start the topic. I think his sorry ass teaches us nothing. I resent every trucking moment w
  18. Yes ... It is even possible they were ultimately paid by a conservative group - you know those secret folks who fund lawsuits and demand secrecy - it happens everywhere ... even here. pubby
  19. Obviously this was a sad story about a kid who was given a second chance and blew it big time. Technically the fact that the kid got the replacement heart was partly about race because he shamed eggleston into putting him on the list despite some disqualifying elements. However, he was 15 at the time and certainly many youths who started their lives questionably did turn it around. Some don't. That is the fact. As far as the notion that there was some good kid or old man or whatever that would have made better use of the transplant is actually a moot question. A person get get a ne
  20. Which is, what, Kind of like the deal with stradial? or DiehardKY? or Foxmeister? or what other pseudo-anonymous identity do you want me to reveal in contradiction of my privacy policy. You remind me of the stupid 10th grade English teacher I had that, in the discussion of the Dickens' novel "Great Expectations" asked the class about the noxious step-mother of the main character in the book "Pip," Mrs. Jo. She asked, "Who in real life reminds you of Mrs Jo?" I immediately pointed to her and said you ... and was summarily kicked from class and sent to the principal. The princ
  21. Sometimes I just type the euphemism gators. Sometimes suing someone is the best way to 'make up' an issue ... can you fathom that? Cobb transplant wants to eliminate choice and his/her statement that the doctor should be forced is an example of the false stridency that zealots express. I know of no jurisdiction anywhere that would force a doctor, dentist to perform a dnc except, perchance, if he stumbled upon an automobile accident with a pregnant woman who would die if he didn't render aid and that aid was unquestionably to end the pregnancy because the fetus had its head
  22. IF THAT IS TRUE it ought to be an indictable offense and a misappropriation of funds if that situation is as presented by Daily Caller and/or Fox News. That said, that is a big IF... not that there are some real big ifs out there. I mean, IF the Bush Administration was, as some allege, behind the murder of thousands on 9/11 or IF they were committing torture in violation of the Geneva Convention or IF ... and you know and I know we could go through a thousand thousand allegations some of which may be true that people should be locked up or even convicted of treason. NOW I
  23. What is being said by stradial sounds more like someone hijacked his membership. Maybe he lost the account in a poker game. I hear he plays with some odd characters. pubby PS: Here is what he said: Two things. I never said I would never believe a report that said a policeman killed someone in self-defense. I would however have problems with reports that claimed that when the person unarmed and shot in the back ... or shot in the chest in an alleged suicide by a guy who was cuffed with his hands behind his back. I would always, however, judge each case on its own.
  24. The point is, only an asshole would ask someone who is offended by their gayness to bake them a trucking cake in the first place. Now if they go to Kroger; that is a different thing, but a mom and pop ... no one, including the gay couple, or the baker who is going to do it for the money. It is a 95% made up issue setting the stage for a replay of the reaction of the right in the wake of Roe v. Wade as the SCOTUS is going to legalize gay marriage across the land this summer. pubby
  25. This is just a game ... and they're gaming it. Part of the game is that just like they rode to power on the decision by the Rehnquist Court (Roe v. Wade) they plan to do the same on the gay-marriage decision that is inevitable. That is the replay that is in the process of being executed. The end game? ... now that's to die for. pubby
