WTF?!?!

The parents in the faith healing case were found not guilty.  I can’t believe it.  How did this happen?  Were there all religious memebrs of the jury?  Must have been.  I am angry about this.  So now, the next time, and there already is a next time, the parents won’t have to go take their childto the doctor and another child will die.

Yes, there is already a next time, I just heard there is another case going on now.  I didn’t getthe details, but hopefully the child isn’t already dead!  What is wrong wirth some people?

Goodbye Walter

I am a little young to really remember Walter Cronkite’s news reports, I believe he was still on the air when I was a kid.  But I know, unfailingly who he is.  I think we all did.  He was more than a newsman, he was an American icon.

I wonder why that is?  Because he was a trustworthy man?  Because he was a class act?  All of the above?  I heard his report on the moonwalk, and on the Vietnam war on rememberance shows after his death.  I understand that even the president took notice of his Vietnam report.

I doubt we’ll ever have another news reporter that can ever touch him, although, nothing against Brian Williams, but he was one of a kind.

So, I say Goodbye to a man I never met and don’t really remember, but with a strange sadness nonetheless.

not surprised

Well, the political unrest in Iran hasn’t died down, but it looks like we do not have a change of leadership nonetheless.

I am not too surprised by this, I kind of figured this is how it would turn out.  I am sad though.  Would have been nice to see some real democracy in action there.
