Is it enough yet?
You know , This is "The Land of The Free" and all that lovely stuff. But when is freedom too much? People are let off easy on some of the most offensive crimes because no matter what - there is almost always a loop hole in our justice system. A mother kills her 5 children - it was post partum depression - She still killed her 5 kids , She took a life. She hurt a child. We can't let her off easily , she shouldn't be allowed to claim mental unstabability due to a female hormonal abnormality. She should be punished. An eye for an eye. A man rapes a child but claims he thought the age differed - he still RAPED the child, even when raping an adult it's illegal. I think he should be castrated(and tattooed!!).When does the actual justice begin?
A kid shoots up his school because he wasn't given enough attention - so every child whom is not given a large amount of attention should shoot up his/her school?
"Hey look at me I've got a gun!" - that'll get you enough attention , killing your classmates will get you more , do it while being a minor and you'll get off on it.
"America ,The Land of The Free" has suddenly became "America , The Land of Chaos and injustice".
It seems to be getting worst as the days pass. Look at our presidential role models, Look at our government officials , Look at the people who teach our children , Look at the people whom we trust with our child , Look at us. When is too much enough? ... So , I will petition this because it will help me be free , but will it also help that child molestor be free? will it also help that murderer be free? will it help the guilty be innocent?... Think more than twice about things. Stop being selfish and thinking of yourself. What you today affects everyone else tomorrow.

"Follow the crowd , End up in a crowd. Go alone , End up somewhere never conquered."
I hate the fact that everyone needs someone to feel complete. I don't mean like a spouse or significant other , I mean a friend that creates a status. Like everyone tries so hard to be accepted by some folks, I don't get it , If they didn't accept you for who you truely are , Do you really want to be accepted by them? I think not. I don't see why people let others influence them so greatly. For example , a majority of individuals won't wear the clothes they want because of fear of unacceptance. That's really sad. When you can't pick out your wardrobe according to what you want to wear , you should start thinking about picking out a new set of friends. Friends always seem to come and go - only true friends stick around and accept you for who you are. Don't waste your time trying to be accepted by folks whom won't ever accept you for who you are , rather spend your time with friends who appreciate you for who you are. It's kind of annoying to see people trying so hard to fit in with each other. It's also somewhat amusing because they ALL are trying to fit in with each other too much to realize they could all be themselves and still fit in.O well. Can't save the blind.

Recognizing the Unrecognized.
This weekend a female cop was shot and killed in a bank robbery locally. The TV stations , Radio Stations , and the Newspaper all have had articles , stories and briefs on it ever since. What about all the other officers killed on the job? They make it sound like it's the first time it has ever happened. What's up with that? A female cop shot.Okay, She joined the force knowing there was a chance of it. They all do. What makes her different? She wasn't the first woman killed in duty.The media has been blowing it extremely out of proportion , sure , I respect her dying to protect , I even think she did deserve some publicity over it. But it's getting to be a bit much, especially since other officers have lost lives doing their duty also and left unrecognized. What makes this lady so special?Was she someone's mother? Was she someone's sister? Maybe she was someone's Daughter? (go figure.) but don't the other officers have that in common also? That's what I thought. Everybody is somebody to someone - I am tired of hearing about this lady , as cold as it may seem , I am tired of hearing her get recognition that no one else received doing the same thing. So , Whenever you decide to inform the public of every single individual harmed or killed in the line of duty - then it will be fine for you to discuss her. It's sad but true , Life goes on. I didn't know her personally , but I'm sure she was a lovely individual , but I don't think she should have had to die to be recognized , and I don't think that her dying should make her worthy to be talked about non-stop. Is that what it takes now n days? A hand ful out of a bucket full of folks get that sort of recognition. It's not fair. So give up already , publicity won't bring her back - it'll just replace her.
