2006, a remarkable year

While John Karr, much like a habitual drunk driver, walks away unscathed, his actions brought results this year. I think, although he certainly wasn't the cause, he really showed how vulnerable people and society are and that the laws does not protect people, especially children. I think the penalty phase should run about like: you have two options and two options only. You may either enter the crematorium kiln alive or you may enter it dead. Either way it doesn't make any difference to me, but to you, I think already dead might be "more pleasant".

2006 might very well mark a year where America, for a short while, stands up and addresses the injustices here and the law's inability to correctly handle molesters. Note the number of prior arrests and convictions of those in the ring. Should those persons re-enter society? Are they more capable of handling their impulses? Statistics, while they don't lie they can be deceiving. Stats here, undoubtedly would show that less than 5% of those caught, ever stop. Okay, so ... they are dumped back into society for what purpose?

American should make this a banner year for convictions and retaining molesters and rapists. 2006 should be a proud year, not with loss, but with improvement. I hope, after the decades of watching these crimes, many of which are never reported and some are not adequately investigated that society wearies so much of it that it takes a bolder stance on molesters and rapists. Make 2006 a year with better, stronger, more effictient law protecting soceity from predators.

To Madonna

far from immaculate, far from Guadalupe/Madonna/Mary mother of Christ, it is admirable that you should take it upon yourself to adopt and raise a child. I would like to intercede here and mention, while you have the money, and maybe the time, you lack any possible ability to raise a child as a person. For this reason, I respectfully request that you find another worthy parent or couple capable of raising him, while similtaneously helping the financially with the inital costs of raising the child.

A person who puts herself on a cross, as though a martyr during her concert, while including live sex acts or pantomined sex is really, not ready to be a parent. Verified orgies and partner swapping with multiple people known and unknown within the house, really is akin to trailer genetics. Do not, and I mean this sincerely, do not, attempt to raise a child as you are too selfish, too self-invovlved and too ignorant to raise one.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Mexico refuses foreign corn

It's okay for the people to leave the country strife with overpopulation and financial difficulties, but it isn't okay to plant hardier genetically modified corn. Corn, a general staple doesn't get in? Are they sure they support this fool who is the President? Why would you block a potentially healthier and hardier plant in favor of native species exclusively? That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. If you didn't need the food, which they do, and if there were climate issues and pollution issues, which there are, perhaps then I could see not using the food.

Tom Jones said it

No one, no one, no one ever -- is to blame. Foley tries to squirm out of reprisal and justice by accusing priest, who then denies "sex", but claims memory lapses due to tranquilizers. So, let me get this straight. The tranquilizers disabled the priest from making decisions, leading him to molest Foley, who in turn, under Helsinki Syndrome (victim duplicating crime upon another) sought to engage in sex with minors. Oh, so the tranquilizers are to blame rather than the people involved, the so-called adults, who should take responsibility for their actions. I see. I also, disagree. They did it. They knew it was wrong.

job search engines that work

but, piggy-back on others, such as yahoo hotjobs ....

Job Bank USA, which is also your state if you select it, JobBank[your state].
Thingamajobs also works pretty well.

I have found that most of the postings on these places are more for professionals, in that experience and degrees are required. A few others I have used are not as picky, such as regional help wanted, Career Builder, Monster Jobs.

I also have found that these sites are all glitchy in their own way. What irks me most is that a site can show a job, the link leads you to another site, which then has a link to the compnay itself, through which you apply. What a waste of my time! Moreover, there are postings that lead you to employment agents that take 25-50% of what you could be paid, leaving you with substandard pay and little/no benefits. A good example of this would be Man Power, which could be dubbed as ManEater or Abuseof Power. I worked for a short time, for Kelly Services and if any employer is smart they won't use them. While I was there, they were the least efficient place I'd seen. They paid me for at least 10 hours of sitting doing nothing, but waiting. I wasn't the only one and I wasn't the one who waited the longest. I know what they paid me and I know they take a chunk. I would highly recommend that companies stay away from them, since they are very wasteful.

Dark Water

Spells deep trouble for those wanting a good movie. It borrowed ideas from Ring, Grudge, and a couple others. While the acting wasn't terrible, the dialogue was. I liken it to an orca movie, with enough red herrings to keep most orca well fed. I think, perhaps I am wrong, it was a Lifetime (for women) movie that actually hit the theaters, in the way that it victimized a woman, then her child, then an unknown child, matched with paranoia both founded and unfounded. It would strike a win or "liked it" category with women who watch Lifetime channel movies. I, surprisingly, didn't like it. I like Jennifer Connely, but it wasn't a good movie.
