Hi!
Good morning everybody. I don’t recall seeing a press conference as riveting or compelling as yesterday’s Duke LAX presser in a very long time. What Nifong put those poor families through is criminal and I hope they throw the book at him.
Isn’t it sad that the direct and accurate characterization by the NC GA on Nifong’s motives and behavior is the rare exception? We need a lot more people who are willing to speak out, talk plainly and do what’s right for a change in this country. Hopefully there will be some chain reactions and housecleanings throughout various judicial offices throughout the nation after this.
I’m also interested to see if any police are brought under scrutiny and penalized for their actions in this railroading. The president of Duke Univ. ought to be ashamed of himself as should those students and teachers who so quickly condemmed these boys, presuming them guilty from the start.
prairiebreeze, I think that the president of Duke should resign. He was absolutely ineffective in defending those kids' rights if not outright hostile to them, and what about the lacrosse coach that was forced to resign?
And what about those 88 professors?
If I were a Duke alumni, I would withhold contributions until there was a thorough housecleaning.
Well ole Imus, engaged mouth before engaging brain again, this time it has done him in it looks like. What makes me mad are the two ‘speech experts’. Sharpton and Jackson. Who are they to have the right to say anything, one with a ‘yard child’, the other a flim flam artist.
Think I am going to till the garden today, got to get my plants out, now it the time to plant, Easter is over and we NEVER plant before then. I also need to go and get some more type plants, and some grit seed. I have been saving my chicken ‘waste’ and put it in buckets and then filled them with water, helps with grow greatly. Horse ‘waste’ I have just been spreading one the garden plot, now to turn it over.
The first week of next month we meet with the court bout Jason and we think he is going to fast track the adoption by D and SIL, his parents who in jail for a bunch of years have signed the ‘give him up’ papers so, we are encouraged. I can’t wait until I can put his picture on FR for all to see, some kind of ruling they have now is the reason I have not got it out for all to see and yes, I understand that we are not the first to adopt a child but I can bet we are just about the most excited to adopt.
OK, off to do the hard labor in the garden, I will check in on my breaks (one every 10 minutes),
Toby
