I'm sorry to have to report that one of our own Freepers, TrappedInLiberalHell, has passed away. His profile is HERE

I met Chris this past summer and found him to be a brilliant young man, who unfortunately carried around a lot of painful psychological troubles. He wrote few posts here, but was an active and clever noter, and a very sweet young man.

I always felt that way as well, that might be a conservative thing

Another one here. I've long held I would have been happier in the 1940s. I even prefer the music from that era, and I'm only 31. If we could have the 1940s back, with modern medicine grafted onto it, I'd be pretty happy. Only drawback, no Free Republic.

122nd Anniversay of James Garfield's Assassination
      Posted by TrappedInLiberalHell to ambrose
On General Interest (Chat) 11/21/2003 8:45:46 PM PST #4 of 5

McKinley's assassination was the one that really changed the world. Incidentally, did you know that one of Lincoln's sons was present at three separate assassinations? From http://civil-liberties.com/factoids/july4_02.htm:

"Robert Todd Lincoln, son of Abe Lincoln, was present at the assassinations of three Presidents: his father's, President Garfield's and President McKinley's. After the last shooting, he refused to attend any State affairs. He would not have been present at these events if it hadn't been for the brother of John Wilkes Booth, who saved his life years earlier. "

The jeers will not make him think again

On News/Activism 11/21/2003 6:46:21 PM PST #6 of 20

I found this article on RightWingNews.com, a satirical online site. I thought it was appropriate for this thread:

Your Pink Tank Convinced Me That The War On Terrorism Is Wrong!

This is going to be hard for me, very hard indeed. But...sigh...I realized that I was wrong about the war today. We never, ever, should have invaded Iraq.

So why did I back the war for so long? Well, I have to admit that I was seduced by the logical and reasoned arguments for going to war. After all, the only hope we have of preventing future 9/11s and worse, much, much worse, is to go after not only the terrorist groups with global reach, but the rogue states that back them.

By taking out Saddam, we not only struck against an anti-American, mass grave filling thug who either had or would have reconstituted his WMD, but we knocked out a tyrant who had direct ties to Al-Qaeda. It all makes soooooo much sense...until you stop thinking about it logically and just let the pictures speak to you.

What pictures you say? The pictures from the protests in Britain that I got from UK Indymedia. Now I know what you're probably thinking, "Come on Hawkins, those people are a big bunch of 'useful idiots' for Saddam and the terrorists!". Sure, that's true, but you have to set aside logic, facts, and common sense and just look at the pictures. Let me give you some examples. Here are 3 pictures, all followed by what each pic said to me...when I let them into my heart!!!!!!!

"Our pink tank filled with children will stop terrorism!"

"Our facepaint and puckish attire proves we're right about laying down for terrorists!"

"Mindless slogans and street theater will make the world safe from Al-Qaeda!"

So you see? It's like Richard Gere said,

"In a situation like this, of course you identify with everyone who's suffering. (But we must also think about) the terrorists who are creating such horrible future lives for themselves because of the negativity of this karma. It's all of our jobs to keep our minds as expansive as possible. If you can see (the terrorists) as a relative who's dangerously sick and we have to give them medicine, and the medicine is love and compassion. There's nothing better."

That's right folks, maybe if we Americans weren't so concerned with building democracies in long suffering countries and stopping terrorists who want to murder all of us, we'd take the time to give a little love to the terrorists and Saddam Hussein. That's what the protestors taught me folks & I hope you can learn from them too.....

NOT!!!!

Putnam Fired by Wal-Mart

On News/Activism 11/21/2003 3:23:05 PM PST #11 of 22

Hey, I was making a joke too...didn't know you disliked Wal-Mart.

I was talking strictly about the shopping experience. I understand WHY it is the way it is -- narrow aisles, lots of people, it just doesn't appeal to me personally. I find Target to be a less stressful experience (and I realize that they're a different segment of the market). My point was that I wasn't commenting at all about whether Wal Mart was a bad/unethical/monopolistic business, and I STILL got slammed, as though it were my duty to like Wal Mart on principle alone, even if I didn't appreciate their physical implementation. For some reason Wal Mart causes even conservatives to choose sides and insult each other.

Serve when called for Jury duty.

I've only been called once. It was for a civil case. I waited in the room with the other potential jurors all day, watching nearly everyone else get called in to be interviewed. Finally, someone came in and said they had finished selecting jurors and we were dismissed. It ended up being a waste of my time, but it beat going to work. Fortunately I brought a book to read.

Women jurors are a joke.

I wouldn't go that far. I'd say arguments from emotion have no place within a jury's deliberations. Women TEND to make these arguments more than men, in my experience.

Emotion has a place in the world -- it would be a dull world without it. And certainly jurors feel emotions when they listen to testimony. But a jury needs to consider evidence and the law, period. The voir dire process, in theory, should winnow these people out, but I don't have the highest confidence in voir dire. Look how well that worked for O.J.

I couldn't believe that any person in their right mind truly had a REASONABLE doubt that O.J. was guilty. I was stunned at the verdict, as I'm sure many Freepers were. Maybe that's why I read Ann Rule true crime books. She picks cases where the bad guy gets caught and punished, and where the police and prosecutors are the GOOD guys. I can't wait for her book on the Green River Killer. It probably won't come out for a year or two, however.

Cabbie who says he won't pick up gay men draws fire
      Posted by TrappedInLiberalHell to Loyalist
On News/Activism 11/21/2003 6:32:17 AM PST #11 of 16

It seems to me that cabbies have the right (maybe even a duty) to not pick up people who don't look 'right'. This guy was merely explaining one of his criteria. He probably won't pick up people who look like drug addicts, criminals, or homeless, either.

It's no different from hitchhiking (forgetting for the moment that it's usually illegal). If you want to get a ride, you have better luck if you look wholesome and nonthreatening.

I'd bet he'd pick up gay people if they acted like regular human beings for the duration of the cab ride. And I'm sure he HAS done so.

I don't see the problem. Maybe the guy should have kept his mouth shut about his criteria. But I don't hold the fact that he HAS such criteria against him. Everyone is entitled to protect themselves from situations that look like trouble.

Just my opinion.

A top hat, a white tie and tails"
Nothing now could take the wind out of my sails
Because I'm invited to step out this evening
With top hat, white tie and tails

I'm puttin' on my top hat
Tyin' up my white tie
Brushin' off my tails

I'm dudein' up my shirt front
Puttin' in the shirt studs
Polishin' my nails

I'm steppin' out, my dear
To breathe an atmosphere that simply reeks with class
And I trust that you'll excuse my dust when I step on the gas

For I'll be there
Puttin' down my top hat
Mussin' up my white tie
Dancin' in my tails

School officials instituted a plan to charge pupils for toilet trips in order to pay for repairs that were needed after students vandalized bathroom fixtures

This sounds so quintessentially liberal to me. High crime? No problem, just raise taxes for everybody to clean up the mess left by the criminals.

It does give new meaning to pay-as-you-go, however.

Fla. Woman Has Stroke, Gets British Accent ~ Extremely Rare 'Foreign-Accent Syndrome'
      Posted by TrappedInLiberalHell to RedBloodedAmerican
On News/Activism 11/19/2003 3:51:42 PM PST #9 of 46

She became a recluse and even contemplated moving to England until she read about the disorder last spring and contacted experts.

My first wife swore I would talk Japanese and Russian in my sleep. I know how to count in Japanese (well, in a rudimentary fashion), but I don't speak the language. And I know maybe a half-dozen Russian words. It's unlikely I learned the languages without knowing about it, so perhaps I was speaking gibberish in those two accents.

My guess is that there is a part of the brain used to normalize different accents into recognizable speech, and this woman's stroke somehow linked this ability with her own speech.

This guy is not impressive. This could be his biggest case ever and her should treat it like it is and not cavalerly.

I disagree. He seems like a guy who will do what needs to be done, no more, no less. I distrust those who act like it's the case of their lives -- they seem more interested in a conviction to boost their career, rather than because it's the right thing to do. And I like the way he is being brusque with the press. He reminds me of Donald Rumsfeld.

The raid coincided with Jackson's release of "Number One," his first album since "Invincible" flopped last year.

Number one is in deep number two.

A GUY WITH NO CLUE WHO LEFT ME IN A STEW (WHY NYC IS FULL OF LONELY LIBERAL 30-SOMETHING WOMEN)

I hope they find men like that ... because they will HATE them. Just watch.

There was an article in "The Onion" a year or two back. It was about a woman who finally succeeded in 'domesticating' her wild boyfriend, and then she expressed dissatisfaction with him, and started lusting after his still-wild friend. As Homer Simpson says, "It's funny because it't true."

In fact, I'm quite unhappy about the FAGACHUSSETTS ruling.

It wouldn't surprise me if people start vandalizing road signs, blotting out or otherwise obscuring the first letter in "Massachussetts". Not that I advocate any such thing -- it's juvenile and criminal. I'm just saying it wouldn't surprise me.

Sorry to hear this.

Prayers sent.

I think I'll give my kids an extra hug when I get home tonight.

Exactly, the negativity that I have been observing everywhere is beginning to get to me, too. I am tired of angry news and talk show commentators, I am tired of angry Rap stars, angry movie stars, angry Hispainics, angry unionists and angry leftists, and sometimes angry Freepers. I seems that all these people do is yell, and all they are all caught up in their own self interests.

TrappedInLiberalHell was one of our young Connecticut FReepers. Have you ever met him? I don't recall meeting him, but he may have attended one of our rallies(?)

I'm just so saddened by this news... :-(

His WAS a freeper name that stood out...

And I liked to click on his posts when his name popped up in the "most recent" section... I liked his sense of humor and his measured rationality and his various observations on current affairs. I thought he was a very interesting person.

His depressive tendencies would reveal on occassion, I can remember in particular one thread about women not having children, his comments were very sad and dark and he was adamant about not wanting to pass on certain genetic or epigenetic frailties to another generation.

I confess I think I understand him better, now that I am facing the prospect that I perhaps have passed on a mitochondrial mutation that could cost my son his eyesight.

I thought it wasn't my place then to try and cajole him out of a dark place. That won't happen again. Next time I will make contact and talk to a person I can see is troubled by depression.

God keep him safe in your arms.

Saber,
Thanks for rounding up Chris' recent posts. He was very clever and quick with a pun.

Sarah,
I understood his reticence about having children, given some very serious genetic diseases in his family.

I also remember how he mesmerized my three "grand kids," ages 9, 9, and 3 for about an hour on the lawn with a soccer ball. The four of them were all on the same level for that time and the kids loved him.

I've had many conversations with Chris (aka "TrappedInLiberalHell), and he was always thoughtful, interesting, polite. .....And he possessed a wicked wit. Got to know him best on the baseball playoff threads this year.

God bless him and his family, and may he rest in peace.

A former FRiend sent me this a while back. e e cummings summarized it pretty well in this, I think:

You are tired,
(I think)
Of the always puzzle of living and doing;
And so am I.

You have played,
(I think)
And broke the toys you were fondest of,
And are a little tired now;
Tired of things that break, and--
Just tired.
So am I.

I was just looking through some of his posts and it made me recall literally laughing out loud at some of his humor.

I remember him as well, for being so sharp-witted. He often seemed exasperated with the world, and the name sure fit his posts. I thought his screen name was great, because it sure summed up the frustration of many. What a tragic, horrible shame. :-(

What happened?

For one thing he was trapped in liberal hell. That's just about enough, isn't it?

I think we sort of lose our places in the universe when parents die. The deepest grief I've ever felt was when my mom died very unexpectedly. A real eye-opener as to how those processes effect us in every way and in every single interaction.

Eva, good words about encouraging each other to counteract the damage the left tries to cause.
