A quarter century wait would seem to indicate a good bit of patience. At what point would you consider the process to have run its course?

The time is too long. However the clemency process should not be removed merely because the judicial took too long, should it? Would you like to eliminate a process that our founding fathers thought was needed to protect us from an out of control judiciary? You don't think the courts could rail road someone?

"Arnold is only human, and even with the support of all the courts and overwhelming evidence, it still comes down to him having the power over Tookie Williams life.
"

And now, he has made his decision. And there it is.

Poor timing award to the Boston Red Sox who were just announcing their new "co-GMs" (Hoyer and Cherington) as the news broke from Governator: No Reason for Clemency.

Household current, if not weighed down, is 60 hertz.
So are humans.

An object met with its own frequency is destroyed.

Huh?

FWIW, 60Hz is the frequency of the A/C, not the current.

"So are humans." - Again: Huh? So are humans... what? Humans are 60Hz? 60Hz of... what? The human nervous system runs at 60Hz?

"An object met with its own frequency is destroyed." - According to.... ?

Tinfoil hat instruction manual?

"You folks in California better head to wal mart and get some shotgun shells and extra ammo for your pistol.

It's gonna be a long night.

I no longer live in California. I moved to Minnesota 18 months ago.

Because it is not an easy decision for him to make.

True. However, it is a decision that anyone running for Governor needs to face. This wasn't an issue suddenly dumped in his lap.

I'm sorry you lost your friend.I fondly remember Harry & the Hendersons. Your friend did a great job - hours of entertainment for me and my siblings :) And I confess to enjoying Predator even now!

Tha idiot Jesse Jackson is running to prison to spend time with this 4 time killer! Unbelievable! Anything for airtime! Too much $ and time has been spent on this thug and to think nominated by some idiot 5 or 6 times for the Nobel Peace prize! So I say "Let's Gitter done!"""" Agree?

Question is only difficult for those who don't like the plain answer - and yes, the answer is very plain.

The core of the faith is that He took exactly that punishment for us - and did not question the validity of that punishment.

I think they let the victims families watch if they want. He sounds like one despicable human.
