Extraordinarily Fascinating News Items

Today a woman in Atlanta who was charged with murdering her baby was sentenced to be sterilized by tubal ligation. What a smart idea! Now if we did that with all the guilty sex offenders in this country, we wouldn't have overcrowding in prisons, nor would we need to worry about them committing that crime again. History shows that kings with harem have no problems with the eunuchs that tend them.

Also this week, a man with hobby of collecting snakes was bitten by one of his more poisonous and rare breeds. Fortunately, he was saved by an antidote from a zoo that was not very local. Apparently, this man is well known in the medical community. Now, unlike a lot of girls, I like snakes, and wouldn't mind owning one. But, unless one is raising certain snakes for the purpose of anti-venom, is there really a reason for careless ownership of any highly poisonous creature? Coming from someone who is also well known in the medical community, I wouldn't recommend it.

Of course Bush's plan for this new term and this year's new budget is on everyone's minds. For the most part, it seems to me that while they don't think so, both Republicans and Democrats want basically the same things. I know that no one is going to be happy with that statement, and I know there are some differences, but really folks.... Can't we all just get along? Please, let's get done what needs to get done, no adding stupid little things in bills that have nothing to do with anything. If we were more focused and less argumentative, perhaps we could really get some things done.

And, finally, as we near Valentine's Day, research has discovered that we truly can die of a broken heart. (especially women) So men, remember your true love not just February 14, but every day. You wouldn't want to be responsible for anything...

//Because we get into the issue of whether or not the governemtn has the right to decide who is fit and unfit to have children.//
I agree to a point, Just as we all have the right to freedome, but we may have that right removed at any time by Government if we abuse it. I also think all have the right to Sex, but also ought to have it removed if they use it to comit crimes. This ought to be used only for extreme and well proven sex cimes. This would include serial rape, child molestation, and worse... Most argue that the problem with forced casteration is two fold. First: what if he is proven inocent at a later date. Well while that would be ashamed, it would in no way end the mans life, and it would save thousands of inocent women and children from the life destroying results of rape.
Second: You remove choice and prevent this Man from being able to change his ways and live a normal life.. To this I answer that maybe he should have thought about this before he raped that poor child..
-Well that's just my oppinion, take it or leave it..
