JabberWocky!

Isn’t he just the Cutest Thing?

People never cease to amaze me with the really dumb things that they can find to occupy themselves…I often find myself saying, “they are easily amused aren’t they”?

And one thing for sure, no matter how different we all are, there is one tradition common to all cultures, the gathering in large groups to participate in utterly pointless and often mind-bogglingly dangerous sports. and 9 times out of 10 all it takes is a lot of bored people and, more often than not, alcohol!

I was checking out this years 8 most baffling “sports” and couldn’t believe some of them…although I hate to admit it, I have heard of some of them which leads me to believe that I must be “easily amused” also!

And the 8 Lucky Winners that they came up with this year are:

• #8: Shin Kicking; Invented in England hundreds of years ago!!! And is pretty self explanatory; a contest between two fighters as to who can knock the other down by the simple, honest method of kicking the heck out of each others shins!
• #7: Bossaball (AKA Trampoline Volleyball); Invented in Belgium. It’s played on an inflatable volleyball court, and in front of the net on each side is a round trampoline so players can get some serious height when spiking!
• #6: Free Style Walking (aka Skateboarding Without a Skateboard); played anywhere jaw-dropping stupidity can be found. They go jumping off rails and fences using only their feet and get this, you can even buy special shoes for this sport!
• #5: Ferret Legging (aka Stuffing a Ferret Down Your Pants); Unfortunately I have heard of this goodie for many years! “Played” in Yorkshire England. Pretty simple, tie the bottom of your pant legs so the ferrets can’t escape then drop a couple down your pants and tighten your belt then stand there like a complete idiot for as long as you can while the upset ferrets try to get out! When you can’t take it anymore then drop your pants and release the ferrets! (The world record is held by a Yorkshireman called Reg Mellor, who kept two ferrets down his trousers for five hours and twenty six minutes back in 1981)!
• #4: Dwile Flonking (aka Beer Rag Tossing); Unfortunately I have heard of this one too!!!! Sussex, Kent. Two teams play the game. One member of a team, the flonker, stands with a beer-soaked rag on a stick whilst the other team links arms and dances around him, the flonker in the middle spins around in the opposite direction to the others and has to fling the rag at them. The girters have to dodge the rag. Points are scored if the rag hits someone, but if the rag misses, the flonker has to drink a chamber-pot’s worth of beer. The game is over when four rounds are finished, or when everyone is so drunk that any movement might cause them to vomit noisily or urinate uncontrollably. Points are deducted if anyone is sober enough to remember their gender at the end of the game!
• #3: Hornussen (aka Spastic Placard Flailing); Switzerland. Played by teams of up to eighteen on a very long, straight field. A launcher, a curved metal ramp, is at one end, by which a player stands. He smacks a small rubber projectile, the hornuss, from the launcher with a long, bendy stick that looked like a fishing rod. The members of the other team, are standing on the field waving placards and wearing helmets, the point is to “biff” the hornuss out the air by hitting it with a placard. But because of the hornuss’ small size and quick velocity, it’s very hard to spot so needless to say many members get hit by this “hornuss”!
• #2: Skibobbing (aka Suicide Ski Biking); Basically played in the Alps but has spread to the U.S.. Competitors go down very steep snowy hills on a bike on skis. So it’s like skiing, but oddly enough the bike doesn’t appear to have any way of stopping! Obviously it’s a simple sport for simple minds!
• And the winner is…#1: Camel Wrestling from Turkey. Camels are specially bred for the competition, and decked out with bells and colorful ornamentation. They’re then sent into the ring with another camel to do battle over a hot camel-babe in heat. Camels can win by either making their opponent fall, scream or gallop away in a leg-flapping manner!

Personally I don’t see why Camel Wrestling was voted #1…it seems pretty “normal” to me after reading the other choices but who am I to argue with the judges??

I don’t know why or how these sports were invented except for the fact that “people can be easily amused” but they were and I think it’s great that people can be such total morons risking life and limb for a little amusement!

I really shouldn’t talk though…I have participated in a few games of Naailen, (a very old Dutch game), in my lifetime, much to my chagrin. I won’t bore you with the details now…maybe one day, but suffice to say it did not involve risking life and limb…just a few hundred year old tree trunk!

Oh! By the way, if you want more details about these most “interesting” sports it can be found at:

This Years Most Baffling Sports!

And I do have a special message to all of my Dutch friends that has nothing to do with today’s subject…I hope you all have a wonderful 1st Christmas, Feast of Sinterklaas, today and get lots of presents!

Well! That’s all for me today, hope you have a great week-end and hope to see you back here again soon for some more good old fashioned…

Did you know the it cost on average $23,476.80 per year to imprison just one Nonviolent Prisoner?

It cost on average $35,587.00 to house one Death Row prisoner for one year, more in California, (and apparently these amounts are very outdated, it has proven very difficult to get an estimate in todays market)!

The cost for the chemical cocktail used to execute inmates via lethal injection cost about $200.00

It costs on average $25,900.00 dollars a year to house a non-violent addict in prison. But! Treatment alone for that addict that same year that it would cost between $4,400.00-$6,800.00 per year!

According to a 1996 Source Book: Criminal Justice Statistics it cost $50,000.00 per person annually or $15 billion per year…11 years ago, for incarcerating the mentally ill. As it turns out jails and prisons are the nation’s largest psychiatric facilities.

In 2002 the lowest monthly welfare payments were in Alabama for the average monthly benefit of $164.00.

The average SSI disability check is $623.00 per month.

The average Maximum Social Security benefit for worker retiring at full benefit age is $2,053.00 in 2006. Keep in mind this is maximum benefit, most people are lucky to get a few hundred or $1,000.00!

The average cost of the Iraq war was $2 billion per week, which comes down to $100,000.00 per minute.

Is it just me or does it seem that being a normal, average, working Joe just doesn’t pay anymore?

Maybe that’s the reason that more and more people are turning to a life of crime…or politics?

I suppose that should be it for me today! Hope to see all of you back again tomorrow for some more…

I know that I am not going to be very popular with a lot of people for this, or a few more posts about this subject, but I also know that I am not the only one that feels the way I do…so here goes!

I am tired of hearing about “troubled killers” and “troubled serial killers” and how they never seem to get enough “help”.

The latest of these people that did not “receive enough help” was Robert A. Hawkins who walked into a shopping mall in Omaha, Nebraska last week and started shooting and killing people, before turning the gun on himself.

As it turns out Mr. Hawkins has been in and out of different facilities and homes since 2002. In May of that year, Mr. Hawkins, then 13, threatened to kill his stepmother so he was admitted to a center in Missouri.

He also received extensive care, private psychotherapy, family therapy and drug counseling at a residential treatment facility for teenagers from 2003 to 2005.

As it turns out it is estimated that more than $265.000 was spent on Mr. Hawkins’ care. He supposedly was in good facilities and had good supervision.

And still he kills 8, injures and not to mention terrorizes goodness knows how many people last week.

Now a deputy county attorney claims that she has been reviewing his file and “of course, there is a lot of second-guessing. But there were no indications that he was harmful in this way.”

What in the world is this person talking about??? In 2002 the 13 year old kid threatened to kill his stepmother!! And there were NO INDICATIONS THAT HE WAS HARMFUL IN THIS WAY”???

Lady what planet are you from? Certainly none from our solar system!

How many more INDICATIONS do you need? He Already Threatened to kill someone!

And still they let him go! This homicidal juvenile “troubled” kid even played a role in determining his course of treatment! Well of course he “thought” that he didn’t need any more treatment and since he hadn’t killed anyone Yet let’s just let him go!!

Well first of all his thought process was not very good if he threatened to kill someone! And you are letting Him make his own decisions??

He “just snapped”, were the words he used in one of his suicide notes. That was probably the clearest thought that he ever had!

So you spend $265,000+ dollars and then one day just let him walk out the door?? He is no more “cured” than the day he walked in!

And now the state is so sorry because their vigilance ended up not being enough? And his actions did not come without warning signs?

Well when you threaten to kill a member of your family at 13, I would Think that would be Enough “warning sign”.

And still they feel sorry that they didn’t keep a close enough eye on him!

You waste $265,000 + on a kid for Private psychotherapy, family therapy, drug counseling and homes and you have not done enough?

Well you are right there. You did not do enough to keep the rest of the people in the world safe from this obviously unstable individual.

I do not understand why these people get all of the best private services and you want to do more. And you, the sane ones, are allowing this type of person to take part in determining the course of their treatment?

This sounds like a case of the inmates are running the asylum to me!

Why are these people allowed to have any say in their course of treatment? And why are they given the best of the best private care when we have good, honest, loving human beings that would never hurt a fly, that are in need of food, housing and medical care?

Did you know that it has been a very large growing trend that the elderly that have been married for 50, 60, 70 + years are being forced to divorce their loving partners just because the government will not pay for their much needed medical care when they are together because they “make too much” on their measly social security benefits so they “don’t qualify”??

And yet you take a 13 year old kid that is a homicidal maniac and give him the best of the best Private care that “we the people” are paying for??

Goodness knows that the average human being can not afford their own Private care, we don’t make enough at our jobs! I guess we just don’t qualify because most people are not going around threatening to kill other people, if they were, then I guess we would All get Private care!

What kind of thinking is this? I just do not understand? Is it only me…or?

I came across the information for this post from the link below, click on it if you would like to read more about this subject and Mr. Hawkins.

From “Troubled” to “Killer”

I think I said enough for today, I had more but I will just have to do that another time…I hope to see you back again tomorrow…if I have anymore readers after this, here at…

A craftsman’s tools are important. They are well chosen and well cared for. A designer’s tools should be no different. Choose them with care, set them up properly, maintain them regularly. Graphic design used to be a hands on profession. Cutting and pasting required a knife and glue. Our tools were things like paper and knives, wax and production cameras the size a room. A lot of young designers don’t even know what “cutting color” means. Now our tools seem somehow less substantial. They are computers, and monitors. We receive projects for people we never meet, and send them to printing presses that we never see. Our tools however, are just as important as they always were.

Computers can be an incredible resource, or an incredible pain. It depends on what you need, and what you have. A designer’s computer needs aren’t the same as everyone else’s. You need know when to ask for more, and when not too. A faster processor is great, but if it has no RAM, you’re in big trouble. The latest and greatest software is cool, but if it’s incompatible with everyone you work with, what’s the point?

Here’s some general guidelines I’d suggest.

• A steady reliable computer. Two steady reliable computers is better, you can’t afford downtime.
• As much RAM as you can put in the machine. The size of graphic files can be immense.
• More storage space than you think you’ll possibly need. Those pesky graphics files again.
• Consider multiple hard drives in any workstation. Graphics software, Adobe products in particular, love multiple hard drives for use as scratch disks.
• Choose software carefully. You don’t need industry standard software, but you need to be able to produce industry standard work. Software that looks too expensive may save enough time in productivity to pay for itself.
• Set up your software carefully. Improper settings or setup can be the death of any project.
• Maintain, maintain, maintain. This includes not only proper filing, backups, archiving of old files, but regular computer maintenance and upgrades to things like anti-virus, firewall, etc.

Being a graphic designer requires knowledge, talent, and a lot of time and effort. The tools we use can make our jobs easier, or much more difficult. Taking the time and effort to choose and care for your these tools can be an incredible benefit to any designer. Failing to do this can be an incredible drain on your time, energy, and your wallet. Never forget that while you may have all the time in the world to complete a project, you may be only one computer failure from missing that deadline.

A talented person can make do with less resources than you think possible. The wrong hardware and software choices can make what should be an easy project, much more difficult, if not impossible. So, while I’ve never thought that hardware and software was the key to a designer’s success, I have recognized that the wrong hardware and software choices can be the key to a designer’s failure.

I was out and about on the Internet over the week-end and I came across something that I never knew existed!

Upon finding this out, I came to the conclusion that I Definitely need to get out more!

Rating Communities are online communities where the web’s most insecure users gather to rate each other based on participants’ appearance, and sometimes their taste in music or other preferences. This frequently leads to disputes that end up violating L J TOS, (Live Journal Terms of Service), and providing content for L J Drama, (a whistle blowing organization).

New applicants are asked to fill out arduous applications, are judged by current accepted members, and then accepted or rejected for important reasons such as wearing the right color of MAC cosmetics, being ana, (the term used to describe sites that catered to eating disorders, usually anorexia), or liking the band Modest Mouse. A common format of rating communities involves “applicants” posting their pictures, which are voted on by members with “yes” or “no.” This voting process determines who is allowed membership and voting rights, and who is ugly and banished. After a member is voted upon, an accepted or rejected image macro is bestowed upon the user and they display it with pride, often in their userinfo page. Encyclopedia Dramatica

As it turns out there are a lot of these communities around and most of them, or so it seems, are located on Live Journal.

They also have very interesting names such as:

• Nonuglies, (which is now suspended)
• Atraktiv, is a rating community on LiveJournal that requires applicants to challenge one of 50(?) semi-permanent members to a battle of looks, where only the hottest (or most socially prominent on L J) can remain.
• The Exalted, which Was a popular rating community on LiveJournal.
• Nonuglygeeks, (and commonly other nonugly communities have an inferiority complex. “Little man syndrome”).

This absolutely Floors me! How can such juvenile, insulting, life altering and destroying behavior be going on in 2007?? And these are not just “kids being kids” either, there are plenty of adults, or suppose to be adults, participating in these communities also!

This also has nothing to do with “free speech”, as people should have sense enough not to go around destroying others just because it’s “their right” and they can.

Don’t you think that we have enough problems these days with low self esteem issues, eating disorders and other mental and physical problems without adding insult upon injury?

And speaking of “low self esteem”, can you imagine the types of people that these “communities” are attracting?

Obviously people with terribly low self esteem themselves. Can you imaging running around all day every day Needing to be told how beautiful or handsome you are? And can you imagine what it would do to someone’s fragile ego if one of their fellow “community” members happen to let it slip that they were not quite as “hot” as they seemed to think they were?

I dare say that more than one life has been lost, because of these “communities”, through suicide!

Well I know I for one am not going to be a party to any such nonsense and I am positive that My Brilliant Readers would never do such a thing either!

Upon closing today, I just want to say to Tommy that I am, “Over The Moon”, that we have finally found each other again after all of these years! Tommy is a relative of mine that I have been looking for, for many years, and, as it turns out, he has been looking for me for those same years also! It was through a freak accident, (very lucky freak accident), or “someone upstairs” will, that we found each other on Friday night and we have been in contact over the week-end bringing me, and I hope him, very much joy!

That’s all for me today! Hope to see you back again tomorrow for some more…

When I got Online this morning and went to Yahoo! to read my morning mail, (the 1st thing I do every morning)! I was at the Yahoo! home page to sign-in and this was one of the top items on that page!

It was suppose to be this amazing video about a snail!! So, being the animal lover that I am I clicked on the link and was magically taken to the video where I proceeded to watch the few minutes of this video. I would really love to tell you about it but…I DON’T GET IT!!! I even went so far as to watch it a 2nd time, thinking that since I just woke up I might be a little “fuzzy” this morning…Did Not Help!

I really hate to look so stupid all of the time and keep asking the same old question…”Am I Missing Something Here”? but yet again I find myself in this situation!

I even sat and watched the credits just n case it told me what it was suppose to be and what it was for!

I did not feel too bad though, while some of the reviews were “absolutely fabulous”, there were some, like me, that did not get it or thought it was boring. I could not find it boring because I did not know what it was that I was suppose to be bored about!!

So, can any of my highly intelligent readers out there take a look at this and if you “get it” please comment and tell me what it is I am suppose to be so impressed about!!

(Just in case any of you do not see the little video machine, here is the link, because goodness knows I do not want Anyone to Miss This)!

Snail Video

I hope you have a great day and hope to see you back again tomorrow for some more…

What a week this has been!! Boy am I ready for this one!!! I have a feeling my friend is really ready for this week-end also, he has been working on a project for me for a while now and this week he was for putting on the “finishing touches”, wouldn’t you know that this week nothing has gone right!!! I think he is about ready to tear his hair out!! So, 1st today, I want to say thank you to him and all that he has done for me, especially this week and the last few months, I hope your week-end is a good one, and I hope you get some of that much needed sleep you have been lacking!!!

Now for the rest of us and our bit of fun to lead us into the Week-End!!!!

Did you read or hear about that Golden Bathtub that was stolen from the 10th floor of a Resort Hotel in Tokyo?? It seems that this bathtub is worth $987.000.00 and weighs 176 pounds and it is made of GOLD no less!!

The bathtub also has 2 statues of cranes and has been the main feature of the hotels Shared Bathroom!! Before it was stolen, visitors could take a dip in the tub, but it was Only Available for a few hours a day due to Security Reasons!!!

Someone had cut the chain that was attached to a door where the bathtub was located, and just made off with it!!!

Here goes my Famous Question, Again!!!! Am I Missing Something Here?? I see that this is quickly becoming the most used category on JabberWocky!, but I am always amazed and confused about the things that people do and the strange things that happen in this world!!

First of all, why in the world would Anyone pay almost a Million dollars to have a bathtub made? Cranes and all??

2nd! why in the world, if you spent almost a Mil…,would you put it in a shared bathroom of a hotel? Why not stick it in your own home. If you want to share your Gold Bathtub, then invite some friends over to bath in it, I’m sure you would not have to look too hard for a couple of people that would like to take a bath!!

3rd! why, if you are going to have a almost Million dollar bathtub, would you buy such a Cheap Chain to hold it in place??? Are you telling me that you didn’t have a few extra dollars to buy the extra strong chain?

4th! how in the world did someone slip past any security with big “bolt cutters”?

AND OF COURSE 5!!!! how in the World did someone just walk out of a hotel carrying a 176 pound Gold Bathtub? They had to first get it cut from it’s chain, (which we know they did), and I don’t know, but I think it is doubtful that any one person could carry it, it is not only heavy, which a lot of people could manage, but it is so Big!! But for the sake of argument, lets say one person did carry it, how did they get it past this Security that they are talking about? And down 10 flights of stairs or an elevator and out the door past all of the people that must have been in this exclusive Resort Hotel, or Any hotel for that matter?? Don’t you think that if you saw someone carrying a Big thing like a Gold Bathtub you might just think something is not right and report it? And you are telling me that there is Any time during the day or night in a hotel that there is absolutely no one around??? This does not make sense to me!!

Once again I ask…AM I MISSING SOMETHING HERE? This is Really something for me to ponder over the week-end!!!

Well, that’s if for me this week!! I hope you have all enjoyed it and hope to see you back here again on Monday for some more…

Hi Again!

Mossy ponds, thick shrouds of beard-like Spanish moss, subtropical foliage, majestic ebony trees, kiskadees, chachalacas, bobcats, lizards, tortoises, ocelots and jaguarundi, both of them endangered species of cats, and the list goes on. These are just some of the natural wonders in the Rio Grande Valley.

Wildlife enthusiasts fear that these wonders will be spoiled by the fences and adjacent roads that the U.S. government plans to erect along the U.S./Mexico border in order to keep out Illegal Immigrants and Smugglers!

Decades have been spent acquiring and preserving 90,000 riverfront acres of Texas scrub and forest and protecting the area’s wildlife. Now it is feared that the hundreds of miles of border fences will undo all of this hard work and kill some land animals by cutting them off from the Rio Grande, the only source of fresh water.

And the wild life and environment is not the only thing that will be spoiled by these fences! Visitors from around the World bring approximately $150 million a year in revenue to this area. With these fences erected the tourism will dwindle to almost nothing.

And Here I Go…Missing Something Again…I Suppose!! Does the United States and it’s lawmakers really think that this is going to keep out Illegal Immigrants? Don’t you think that they are just going to find other ways to “Climb the Fence”, so to speak??

Illegal Immigrants and Coyotes, people who smuggles immigrants to the United States, make it their life’s work to figure out “New and Improved” ways to get to the “Other Side”!!

So, close to $100 million has already been spent creating, restoring and maintaining refuges for these animals and goodness knows how much it is going to cost to build a 700 mile long fence along the U.S./Mexico border and for what? There will still be Illegal Immigrants only now with much less wildlife and environmental beauty!

You know, the border between the U.S. and Mexico is a longer than 700 miles by the way…do you think that someone might come up with the brilliant idea to go 701 miles to cross over into the U.S. Illegally? Hmmmm…I wonder!!??

Well, that’s it for me today! Hope to see you back here tomorrow for some more…

Hi Again!

I was reading an article today about asking someone out on a date, and while I have not ask that many men out on a date myself, (I tend to be a little old fashioned, the men usually ask me out), I have done it, (ask a man out)!! And I never thought about it before but the article mentioned how people get all clammy and fidgety and mumble and fumble and I was amazed! I finally figured out that it must be because they are afraid of being rejected! Actually I didn’t figure it out, I just read the article a little farther!

I have to say, on those few times that I did ask a man out, I was not clammy, fidgety, mumbly or fumbly, I never had any doubts about what the answer was going to be, and thinking about it now, if I had any doubts what so ever, I never would have done it either!

And I started thinking, isn’t it amazing how each and every one of us are so totally different but yet in many way exactly the same??

We all have come into the world the same way, I am not speaking of the actual individual birth, but we all got there the same way, (that is a whole ‘nother post, and probably doesn’t belong on Uni’s site, he tends to get upset at mention of certain things, you know how Uni’s like purity)!!, but we were created the same way, we all bleed the same way, and contrary to what people may think, it all comes out red, even if you are blue blooded!, we all breath the same air and the same way, some air being more clearer & cleaner than others, but if you were where clean air was you would be breathing the same air!, we all experience the exact same feelings, rejection, love, hate, dislike, trust, safety, pleasure, pain each and every one of us feel, maybe not the same way, but feel it just the same!, we all have to eat, sleep, drink, communicate with each other and the list goes on!

And yet our inner “feelings” seem to be the one that causes us the most pain and pleasure! It makes me wonder about cruelty and the cruelty that we inflict on others! Why do we find that it is necessary to inflict unnecessary pain on others?

Especially when that is probably the “feeling” that we fear so much, pain! Why do we find it necessary to physically hurt another, or why is it necessary to say hurtful things to each other?

Think about the last time that you said something hurtful to someone, I don’t mean accidentally hurt someone, but said something to someone knowing that it would cause them pain. Now think about what you said, and think about how you would feel if that person, or someone else for that matter, said the same thing to you. Would what you said hurt your feelings? If it wouldn’t hurt your feelings then you are done, nothing more to the experiment, but if it would hurt your feelings, then Why? and more importantly Why did you say it? Why in the World would you say something to anyone, and especially a loved one, that would be hurtful and make them feel bad and maybe not just feel bad for the moment, maybe make them feel bad for the rest of their lives???

Is it the power it gives you? Is it because you were angry and lashed out at someone, maybe not even the person you were angry with! If you said it out of anger, then after you cooled off did it make you feel good that you said it or are you sorry you said it? If you are sorry you said it, Now you have made 2 people feel bad, not just the one!! How smart is that? Now you have made yourself feel bad also!!! Was it worth it? Was it really worth acting like a spoiled brat just because you were angry?

Do you realize that stupid things said in the heat of anger, or maybe you are just an evil person, can ruin relationships for the rest of your life? Think about it! Is it really worth loosing your life partner or best friend, parents, children, your job or any thing else that you value just for some stupid thing that you said in an instant and didn’t get that much gratification out of anyway, especially if you are sorry now?

So why not from now on for your sake and the sake of others, try stopping and think about what you are going to say before you say something that in the long run you are going to regret and be hurt over as well as others? And for goodness sake, if someone that you don’t want to go out with asks you out, decline in a pleasant and positive fashion that behooves you, after all, it should really be a very high compliment that someone wants the honor of sharing your company!

That’s it for me today, hope to see you here tomorrow! Oh! and if you ask someone out and they turn you down, try not to feel so hurt and rejected. After all, if they didn’t want to go out with you then how much fun could it have been? There are always many more just waiting for a chance to spend a little time with you!

By the way, the new ways to ask someone out are: Ask your intended out on paper…or a paper napkin, (personally I think that this is as old as the hills…but)?, pull your own “To be continued…” episode, Hire a stand-in to do the asking, Invite someone for a one-on-one, Sneak it onto their to-do list, Start your own rumor, Make a wager & Be specific and straight-up! If you want more information on these new ways of asking someone out then you can go to:

New Ways of Asking Someone Out

Hi All!

• Rape convictions of a New York man are erased after 22 years
• Anthony Capozzi is expected to be freed this week
• Capozzi is being treated for schizophrenia
• His lawyer may sue the state for wrongful detention to ensure his care

It seems that after 22 years of sitting in prison a 50 year old man, Anthony Capozzi, has been exonerated and he is expected to be freed this week due to some very much too late DNA testing results!

It also seems that this man is now suffering from schizophrenia and was transferred from prison to a Psychiatric Hospital last month!

It also seems that he has been denied parole five times since becoming eligible in 1997. His refusal to admit to the crimes made it impossible to complete a mandatory sex offender program!

And last but certainly not least, it seems that instead of suing the state for wrongful imprisonment for taking away his freedom for so long his attorney may need to sue the state for wrongful imprisonment as a way of ensuring that Capozzi will be taken care of medically also the rest of his life!

AM I MISSING SOMETHING HERE? DOES ANY OF THIS MAKE ANY SENSE TO ANY OF YOU? IF SO, PLEASE, I IMPLORE YOU, LET ME IN ON WHAT I AM MISSING!!

Here are some of the points that I am Most fuzzy on! When a Judge bangs a gavel down, and says that you are “Free to Go”, why aren’t you “Free to Go”? Why in the world would you have to wait until later on in the week??? Isn’t later on in the week when you are going to “do lunch”? Why aren’t there bailiffs and court reporters, and police officers and attorneys and judges and anyone else you can think of, the janitor if need be working right at that moment to get you an immediate release?? I know for a fact that when you are going to be released from jail that they can get your papers ready in just a couple of hours or Much Less, if need be! And if there was ever a “need be” I would say this type of situation is certainly it!!

Now we come to another point! Wouldn’t you start to wonder a Little Bit when someone continually for 22 years denies doing something? I mean seriously, his reputation is already ruined! What in the heck does he have to gain by denying he did it? He could have been out 10 years ago by just saying those 3 Really Simple Words: “I DID IT”!! When he got out of jail, after 35 years, his maximum, no one would have believed his innocence anyway, so why torture yourself by sitting in jail for all of those extra years unless you really are innocent????

Now, we have a man, that is totally not dealing with reality, to put it mildly! And to TOP IT OFF, the State may to have to be Sued in order to ensure that this man gets the mental treatment and care that he is definitely going to need the rest of his life!! Why would there ever need be a court case for this, shouldn’t it be a given? You make one of the Worst mistakes that can be made and you are not going to Volunteer to pay for the damages that you have caused??

And what about this DNA testing? That brings me back to the denial for so long! I Know that everyone that is sitting in prison is Innocent! They wouldn’t be there if they weren’t Innocent! But the fact still remains, there Are Some Innocent People sitting in prison today always has been and always will be! But when someone so vehemently denies doing something, for 22 years no less, don’t you think that Someone should have thought past their nose and thought Maybe this individual was telling the truth and Maybe something should be done to find out for sure before destroying their lives any more?? I realize that it is so easy to get swallowed up in the court and prison systems but Even a sex offender counselor or one of the people at one of the many parole hearings or Someone???

There are so many more things wrong with this story and a lot more just like it, just too many to mention! I know my questions will never be fully answered to my complete satisfaction, and it’s too bad. Because as long as systems are allowed to go unchecked and allowed to Not be Responsible for their actions, the world will never get any better, it’s only going to get worse folks I am very sad to say!

That’s it for me today, I’m sorry that I don’t have any more answers for you, but I do hope to see you here tomorrow, when Maybe things will be a little better! But I’m not going to hold my breath!
