On the other thread.....you know...THAT thread....overhaul the adoption system.  That might just work.  We could take the billions spent each week in Iraq.....uh.....rebuilding it....and put it into abortion options by government supported adoption programs.

Now, let's talk solutions as opposed to abortions.

Anyone catch this editorial?

Here's a snip:

The Olympian

Thurston County Coroner Gary Warnock should call for an inquest into the fatal shooting of felony fugitive Harley Moniz in August by Washington State Patrol Trooper Jon Nelson.

An inquest jury of citizens, convened in Thurston County Superior Court, could hear all of the evidence in the case and provide the public with a second opinion of whether the shooting was justified.

The shooting was deemed justified yet the O thinks that citizens should come in and give they judgement on it. What in the world does the average citizen know about police work? This makes about as much sense as having a panel go in to investigate an arson! Considering the population of the county there would be at least one anti-cop nutcase in there that wants to hang the guy right off the bat anyway.

The biggest problem with these sorts of things is that very few, if any, citizens know what it feels like to have to take someone's life, to defend your own life, to make a split second decision knowing that it will impact your career, your family, your entire life, AND that of the person who is on the receiving end. Giving them a 4 hour intro into law enforcement just isn't going to cut it.

So why is the Olympian stirring the pot?

At the same time I'm worried about my little girl. This was the first day she stayed alone in our new apartment; earlier the manager called, not to complain about the noise, but to say the neighbor thought she was sounding distressed. I took an early lunch and she was just being a big baby.

Management was very nice and insisting that nobody complained. They think she'll stop after getting used to the new place; Tammy and I are contemplating chew toys, background noise or music, positive reinforcement-training while we're home. I'm there everyday for lunch so it's not like she's left alone penned-up for 16 hours a day, it's only 4 hours at a time.

We just don't want to have to consider anything drastic like voicebox-removal if it starts to become a problem.

I can't believe that no one said Happy Birthday to me yesterday.  I mean, doesn't everyone understand that the world revolves around me?
