About Time....

THANK YOU, FLORIDA!!!! Florida is the first state that will require drug testing when applying for welfare (effective July 1st). Some people are crying this is unconstitutional. HOW is this unconstitutional? It's OK to drug test the people who WORK for their money but NOT those who DON'T?

I agree that some people unfortunately and truly deserve government assistance, but I also know that many do not deserve it and this is why I am thankful for this new law.  Let's hope it makes its way into OHIO sooner than later.

What are your thoughts, facebook friends?

Justice or Injustice?

It seems injustice is more frequent in our "justice" system today.  How is it that Caylee Anthony's mother is acquitted for murdering her daughter?  How is it that the judge did not use discretion and override this verdict?  How is it that Casey Anthony can sleep at night?  I understand that our justice system allows the defendant the right to trial and exercises the notion that we are all innocent until proven guilty.  But how does this happen when the family handled this tragedy so poorly?  That in itself speaks volume.  If your daughter drowned in the pool, then why wouldn't you call 9-1-1 and report it?  Why wouldn't you try to save her?  And why in the world would you hide and bury her remains?  Why wouldn't you give the poor child a proper burial ceremony?

The prosecution team did well, but the defense team did much better in this case somehow (unfortunately).  We now have a so called mother about to be on the streets again.  She's obviously unstable and insane.  Can we remove her ability to have more children?  If so, I might rest better.  There are way too many loop holes for Casey Anthony to be set free.

This is just one of many cases in history that more injustice is served and I am sure there will be many more.  I entertain the idea of adding a new degree program to all institutions of higher learning:  criminal injustice

RIP Caylee Anthony.  It is a shame your life was taken so soon.  How can any of us find the strength for forgiveness when something is so black and white?
