Impunity: Causes and Effects
I’ve been spending countless hours working on this blog, it’s design and behavior. And it’s getting close to what I want it to be.
Besides working on my blog, I depend on the internet for so many other things, just like many of you. Banking. Communication. Information. Earning. Not to mention the limitless entertainment options available.
The internet has become essential. More than TV. More than the telephone, the car, the newspaper stand. It’s indispensable.

Geraldo Sticks to his guns.
Way to go!
Not only a great, real, on-tv discussion, but a show of how common sense will always trump mongers of mob mentality moralism.
Thanks Mike, for the link

First of all, I’m not a religious type, and I’m not out to offend. Only to offer a point of view. I was thinking of how we have “records” of very specific details of the events of the crucifixion. Words that were said. People that acted in certain ways. Location of wounds.
- Pontius Pitate saying “Ecce Homo!” (Behold the Man!)
- Veronica wiping Jesus’ face with a cloth
- Symon of Cyrene being made to carry the cross
- and many others
These are so specific and at the same time, so mundane, that they clearly show that the people that witnessed the event were keen on recording everything that happened.

Plan B in Motion
My GED records have finally arrived. Now I'm ready to apply to all my fallback college choices.
With this, I'll be all set to go, regardless of the upcoming Chapman decision…
