We all want to feel SAFE. Even serial killers want to feel safe, safe as safe can be. That's not to say we actually feel safe, which many of us don't, reinforced by gruesome murders, child abductions and murders, spouse murders, suicides, kidnappings and murder(s), massacres, government massacres, like the current atrocities occurring in Syria right now and the past several months/years... disappearances, missing persons, bodies found or never found... husbands that murder wives, wives that murder husbands, parents that murder their children, friends that murder friends. Where does it stop, the murders, the deaths, the disappearances?
Why does our tax-payer $$$ fund a 1.4 trillion dollars to date War on Drugs, mostly marijuana, and next to nothing on the things I mentioned above?
Why were the Butts Family Murders, or Nikki Ladue January never given proper proceedure in bringing a predator/killer to justice?
Without a doubt we can't be too trusting these days... civilization isn't yet attained. The wild, wild west is not too far back... late 1800's, in fact. Having protection is a must. Having a gift of second nature intuition is a must.
So websites offering information with regards to a possible criminal background for that new neighbor, new employee, or potential new friend, seems wise and prudent.
There are people with criminal brains. People that make no sense to the majority of people. Igor found that out in Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", when sent by his master, Dr. Frankenstein, he grabbed the brain of a criminal in haste, and that is the brain Frankenstein got. The villagers massacred them all...
On that note... turn to the latest in White House Politics...
I know, it's a vast turnaround; and another one soon to come; what Congress accomplished of late is nothing next to phenomenal, how our new Tea-Party elected Republicans brought this country to the brink of economic default, and how House Majority Leader Boehner (pronounced bain-er) seems to have come away unscathed, while Pres. Obama takes the heat. As well he should, as President.
I personally don't hold Obama accountable, i think he acted extremely well in the face of it. What annoys me is how preoccupied this Administration has been with issues that should not be issues.
There are REAL ISSUES to deal with...
Which brings me to the conclusion of this topic... Brains, normal brains/criminal brains...
How do you know what brain is near to you? Imagine we're all Frankenstein... now imagine the idea of a person having a "criminal brain"... the brain of a person who is a serial killer, a murderer, kidnapper, marijuana user? All bring down harsh punishments if caught, and that is why we have a government that "serves and protects us".
Who is the real Frankenstein? Please stand up.
I'll have to go back and read your post 1--I missed it.
ReplyDeleteAnd though Republicans will tell you they have nothing to do with the fiscal mess we are in, the democrats and republicans are both responsible for the current state of affairs. The conservatives who advocate wars (traditional and non-traditional) and the democrats (President included) who believed that we could spend our way away from a recession. I wish they would stop the blame and finger pointing and realize that we cannot continue spending; the bandaids that are being applied will only result in a much more painful fall later.
Off my soapbox now.
And congrats on being mentioned in the Simon Barret show on Sgt. Rust(an emailer tells me that, but I have not had time to listen yet).
Thank you for mentioning the mysterious death of Nikki LaDue January.
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed your input on the Patrick Rust Series by Slamdunk as well as the Nikki series.
Keep up the good work and keep the posts coming. I am enjoying the reads!
