Don’t forget the ubiquitous Bobby Trendy & the Pol Pots(?). TV, Hollywood & associated celebrity/fame seekers surely have a higher percentage of narcissists and exhibitionists than the general population.
Birds of a feather - it’s almost a tribal instinct - ethnic, or a religious affiliation.
Worth a scientific exploration - in the absence of traditional extended family support, for whatever reason -(divorce, remarriage, work dislocation, alienation) our human needs for socialization would reasonably direct us toward people of similar interests. It’s not a bigoted observation - it’s pertinent.
What really concerns me is HK$ having a relative who is a DA. Hope she can be transferred. Maybe the threat of polygraph tests will prevent leaks to her from friends.
Greta mentioned "stuck on stupid." That describes not Rita but Perper. His credentials should be investigated. When and how did he get the book contract? Did somebody from ET help him obtain it?
I have had difficulty posting for several days, do not know what the problem. Took me over half an hour today and I still cannot get to pings.
I had problems today - and I thought it was because of cleaning out my files (per native’s generous help).
The discussion on Greta vs.Rita has covered - competition, Greta’s suspect background, desire for ratings. If you’ve noticed - we are like she-lions or meerkats when someone starts to diddle with those who have shown some courage in stepping forward.
We didn’t particularly admire, Jackie Hatten, Rita, Debra Opri or Geraldo (brother Craig) - but they have taken principled stands and that is admirable.
OTOH look at the disappointments: We wanted to believe Lincoln Bain’s self described *Man of God* corruption buster, the nannies’ humility, Larry’s decency, Seidlin’s integrity, Milstein’s impartiality, The Brikhead family values, Moe’s loyalty to Anna, TMZ’s *factual reporting*, G.Ben Thompson’s eviction orders, Harding’s competence, O’Quinn’s Florida representation, Don Clark’s documentation. State of Florida’s criminal justice system and British influence on Bahamian jurisprudence.
O/T....just wanted to post this because a few people here had once had a conversation about what had happened to these two elderly women from Ohio who were taking a road trip to go shopping and disappeared. If already posted, I apologize. I had just been wondering about them and heard this...

This case is spreading out like cancer beyond a case of apparent double homicide. It is enveloping prescription drug abuse, shocking judicial misconduct (Milstein, Seidlin), frivolous lawsuits, issues of child custody, grandparents rights, slander, extortion, perjury (HK$ and others), sperm donors, incompetent or corrupt ME, possible money laundering, conflict of interest involving HK$ sister-in-law.
Scared Monkeys Radio Daily Commentary - Wednesday, October 17, 2007 - Dana Investigates Former FBI Agent Don Clark
I remembered and heard that they had been found. There are so many tragedies *showcased* in the news - the most prominent are the heinous acts of one human being against another.
A similar tragedy to the Ohio women was the case of a husband & wife traveling I-95 Myrtle Beach to NY (?). Their car ran off the road in Virginia. It was reported, but not found soon enough. I think the best invention yet, for excessive long distance trips, is a GPS system that should be *pinging* from the start of a long distance drive until destination - especially for the elderly - who get lost and disoriented so quickly.
Very sad - one of the dead women is related to a FReeper.
“””This case is spreading out like cancer..”””
Good analogy - and who made the preliminary diagnosis????
Normal, average people in chat rooms across the country.
Bingo! Jerry Brown should be at the very top!!!
Can you think of anyone else that FReepers would probably not admire - but who has earned our respect?
I would love to see Billy Wayne Smith rise up from the ashes of media ridicule and state his case. Why does no-one accept that a headstrong Anna discarded Billy and took off with Daniel - when they want us to believe that she was so headstrong and domineering that she controlled everyone, including her lawyer and her physician. Is that why they had to disable her mentally and physically with mind blowing drugs. I think that could be called involuntary restraint!!! Billy didn’t do THAT!
