Remember how we kept hearing that Trump was scared that once his presidency ended there were gonna be all these criminal matters? Is there a fear of rioting if he is put on trial?

I am siding with Robert. It is those mindless citizens who will take us down. Facts be damned. Mythology, conspiracy, racism, deep distrust of government. Even a medical crisis is politicized into a fake issue of freedom. That fight for freedom is paramount. Sheeple are the rest of us they say.

The left is over the top. They both lie to fit…[Read more]

But once they’re born the state should give no succor even though they are born to circumstances that put them behind the 8 ball. Let em eat libertarian pie. It is low cal.

I come at it by framing the issue differently than Davis. I am opposed to a categorical verboten. Both torture and death penalties are no unless the circumstances require it. Those circumstances will always be extreme and unusual.

Assuming torture works (big assumption) and using it will cause the victim to divulge the nation and time a madman…[Read more]

Unseen i was simply questioning the notion you either support the death penalty or you don’t and all forms of homicide which are easily avoided are inherently immoral. In the case of abortion when religious nuts have their way i think that is indeed their NEVER ABORTION justification-taking a life is inherently immoral under all circumstances. But…[Read more]

Yeah, it ain’t just killing animals is all wrong when we draw distinctions about which animals are okay to kill. Some won’t draw the line at cats and dogs. Hell some won’t at humans. I ate her liver with fava beans and a good chianti. I remember reading how in one city during the communist revolution in China tens of thousands of corpses were…[Read more]

I don’t recall discussing death penalty here. It is a tough topic.

Davis, why either or? It is perfectly reasonable to be against abortion in one circumstance and in favor of it in another. It is perfectly reasonable to have a not guilty verdict in spite of meeting the statutory elements of a crime in one case and have the identical crime in…[Read more]

My next life i will work to exculpate wrongfully convicted. Imagine the horror? You say i did not do it. They say ya ya ya, that is what they all say. And then you watch your dreary days go by painfully slowly until one day you get a gift in the mail-soap on a rope. Then a glimmer of hope arises as your pen pal expresses romantic interest in your…[Read more]

Personal responsibility?

Do we simply accept the foundation of criminal law when more and more evidence suggests that our actions are beyond our control? Free will is consonant with responsibility and perhaps even retribution. The old testament eye for an eye feels damn real when one’s own has been unjustly harmed. However it feels free will is…[Read more]

The brain damage and amnesia occurred after the crimes and therefore have no immediate relevance for the prosecutor. It is all about Joe’s state of mind before he acted. The nature of the crimes is grave and a prosecutor won’t look the other way typically. Since the evidence is agreed to be significant the prosecutor can either summon a grand jury…[Read more]

So the M.O. of the big fish is to eliminate free markets. Big fish eat little fish until the bald megalomaniac has fished out the sea. Aah but there are endless seas within his purview. So much to do and so little time.

I saw it in my law practice with Walmarts. They priced mom and pop businesses out of business. Fortunately they were free to…[Read more]

How bout not only tax churches but class actions against churches for fraud. Raise revenue and enhance the well-being of citizens. The accumulated wealth from centuries of ill-gotten gains and scot free rape. Makes too much sense.

It looks like the other dog is submissive. If there were no people to intervene i wonder if the Pit would have finished him.

The disparity in wealth defies a descriptor. Obscene, absurd, indefensible, shocking, outrageous? None of em capture the disparity and the cost in quality of life to the many of the pig at the trough, dominant male lion at his kill, go fuck yourself and have crumbs mindset of the elite wealthy. And even the philanthropists give a relative…[Read more]

Reg i am not aware of it being required anywhere in the USA but there are certainly pet keepers who use it.

As i explained Enco the tendency in law is to hold individuals accountable for their actions alone. Until recently there was no criminal responsibility for parents of kids who run amok. It is sins of commission that are under a microscope. Typically there is no responsibility for bystanders. So if you are walking and observe a woman drowning in…[Read more]

There is a wizzar pissar netflix doc. (Unnatural Selection) on genetic engineering and biohacking and there is a guy who is trying to do what you suggest Unseen. I guess it will take a few generations to accomplish. Apparently you can buy a crispr set to do your own gene editing and it is fairly inexpensive.

Can we also find the gene(s) that…[Read more]

If the author of that article i linked bout Pits is correct then it is incumbent on the lets end the breed folks to not include breeds that are being counted as culprits but are not even Pit Bulls. Can you imagine though how politically untenable it would be? The government is coming to sterilize your beloved Pit Bull. How far can OTHER…[Read more]

Unseen, you are correct.
