This process protects the defendant AND the court
Apparently, it also supports a 28 million dollar bureacracy/industry in the community of 80,000. Which means each person in the community pays $250 per person per year for this "protection." I have addressed my concern with respect to this defendant previously, see the last sentence in my post # 56.
Pony up. You made the conclusory statement, now prove it.
Of course, its likely given your defense of these crackpots that you're a crackpot yourself, and in dire need of those same services, all while resenting it.
That number is not true because the author states it. He is loose with fact and high on false givings. The most that they spend is about $6 million and the vast majority of that comes from state and federal grants. Only $800k came from their general fund in 2000. Josephine County's total general fund was less than $26 million, so $28 million funded by the residents seems quite unlikely.
Since I didn't address anything re: this man's looks...and I DID take the time to check out his website...I am unclear why you are addressing the above comments to me.
~~~Frankly, I find nothing obvious where it comes to the motivations of people and the things they believe.~~~
So....follow your own logic. If you want fairness and you distrust motives (in this case you are referring to the judge, I suppose, as that was the only person I referenced in my post to you), then what could be more fair then having this man's mental capacity evaluated by a qualified 3rd party?
I also didn't address the budget for mental health in Josephine County because there was no proof offered to support this author's assertion.
You just used a shotgun approach to attempt to answer my ONE and ONLY point..throwing out MANY issues I did NOT address. I suggest you attempt to limit your responses to only those points made by the poster. Which, btw, you failed to do in my case.
