US Supreme Court Mandates DNA Testing

Got a lot of Work to Do

Trying to Get a Message Through

-George Harrison

The US Supreme Court today in a 5 to 4 decision mandated DNA testing for major crimes throughout the country.  A lot of people like David Cruise claim to be surprised by this decision but I’m not.  It’s a requirement whose time has come and it will clear up a lot of confusion.  As to the breakdown of the Justices’ votes- - the three women on the High Court voted against the majority- - along with Judge Antenon Scelia, however you spell it.  David Cruise is worried if you get picked up on a drug charge or something- - they’ll also nab you for that rape you committed last week.  That’s what law enforcement likes to do.  Once they have a suspect in custody they see what other crimes they can hold him on.  It’s like every time you watch Cops and they make a routine traffic stop for a burnt out tail light, you know they are going to get the occupants of the car for drugs and weapons.  For some reason known only to the producers of the show- - stops are never innocuous- - and nobody is ever innocent.  Of course the DNA is essential for testing both old rape cases and old murder cases where the prisoner may well be on death row.  I really don’t see who could possibly be against this.

All the bands at Woodstock played

Smoking grass and getting laid

All the hippies had it made

Those were the days

And you know who you were then

Democrats were Real Men

Mister, we could use a man like George Mc Govern Again

Didn't need no Health Care state

We weren't plagued with all that weight

Gee our Pontiac Grand Prix ran great

Those were the days

The Boston Bruins defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins 3 to nothing in game one of the Eastern Conference championship series.  I only mention this because there has been a news black out for weeks around here of any news involving the Eastern Conference of the NHL.  It’d almost be easy to think there WAS no Eastern Conference.  I watched the video game summary.

They say that tomorrow President Obama will be announcing the appointment of three Justices to some Washington DC appellate court.  But the tea party folks in congress want to just abolish these three judicial positions so they don’t have to fill them, and vow to stonewall the vote.  Apparently Governor Christie will be appointing a republican to replace a democrat as US senator from New Jersey.  Of course when George Bush was in power they were always threatening to use the “Nuclear option” but we haven’t heard about that at all lately.   There is some trial starting today involving the Wikki leaks leaker- - from three years ago.  Well it takes courage to leak anything that high up; I’ll say that.  Apparently a bunch of civilians in Afghanistan were slaughtered in a cold blooded manner and Wikkileaks reported it.  Mario points out that liberal KTLK radio has routinely and repeatedly lied to us about the nature of a 501C4 category.  This category as opposed to a 501-C3, is a category expressly FOR political groups.  Obviously the tea party has always worked off this assumption, but people from Randy Rhodes to Stephanie Miller to whoever- - said that the 501C4 category banned politics.

According to Mario today is the seventieth anniversary of the Zoot Suit riots in Los Angeles.  This would be in 1942 when one wonders why a young male of fighting age wouldn’t already be drafted.  The times in Los Angeles then were highly racist- - I’d say just about as bad as the deep south.  The police, the newspapers, and the public were all steeped in racism.  It seems that the Latino race was deemed as “dangers” because they “listened to Jazz” and went to Black jazz clubs.  Someone pointed out that the group “War” is kind of a fusion of Black and Latino.  Anyhow they were mentioned as speaking “Spanglish” and also a variety of “Spanish Gypsey”, which Mario never heard of.  These Zoot Suit people were regarded as being infiltrated by Communists and also genetically related to the dreaded Japanese people.  Of course Pat Buchannon reminds us that Latinos aren't "Real Catholics".  I guess that must be from an Anthropology book from Bob Jones University.  All of this is laughable now but it wasn’t funny if you were a victim of law enforcement falsely convicted of a Crime.  News coverage was not only false in so many ways in 1942 but when the Daily News represed the story today it stated "Perhaps the terms used for the Zoot Suit rioters weren't politiclly correct by today's standards".  This remark is euphanistic to the point of delusion.

Now the attorney in the George Zimmerman case has a video out perporting to demonstrate that “friends of Trayvon Martin beat up a homeless man, so this proved the are all violent”.  Of course it turned out to be just a phone video of one stranger beating up another.  Of course David Cruise points out the mystery of “Just what was George Zimmerman doing just hanging out in the rain.  We know Trayvon was on his way back as fast as he can from the 7 – 11 store with his Skittles and iced tea.  I sometimes point the finger at “God” if you will and say that such and such event would never have even come up in my life had not some Higher Power “set me up” as it were to begin with.  As has been pointed out a lot lately, a police department will often expend a great amount of energy surveiling one race just “looking for somebody to do something wrong” so they can swoop in.  And of course they give their own race a pass holding them blameless.   Of course on that soap opera today Samantha Brady rightly wanted to know why the Salem Police Dept freed a violent thug who kills just for the hell of it devoid of all morals or restraint.  In that case there was enough blame to go around for a whole lot of people.

Some possibly mental ill woman in her mid forties set eight fires in San Barnadino, which luckily didn't get very big.  They were set in vacant lots, vacant houses, trailer courts, what have you?  The woman is now charged with eight felonies.  Of course we have some strange names for our fires.  We've had things like the Mission fire- - but then we had one called the "Old Fire".  Tell me what an "olld fire' looks like.  Now we have one called the "Powerhouse Fire" that has nothing to do with Utilities.  They say that after four days they have finally gotten the upper hand on the Powerhouse fire.

I’d like to talk just briefly about what I would do if asked to be an advocate against the proposition of the Existance of God in any Debate.  I could do that.  I would make my most powerful line, like a defense attorney would that I don’t have to PROVE anything.  Like a defendant all I need to say is “I didn’t do it” and “I wasn’t anywhere around there when the crime was committed”.  It’s not incumbent on me to write a blue book essay on fifty reasons why I shouldn’t be convicted of this crime.  Some would say “Well you are only arguing the atheist position because you’re bitter tword God and hold a bias against God”.   But here again, I can’t be held guilty of holding a gruge against something I don’t believe exists.  But I will say that you do have the right to look at the actions of Christians to see whether they live up to what they claim Christianity does for them in terms of refining their moral character.  And if they are personally shallow and jerks, I have the right to mention this.  If they then say “Many good scientists believe that some outside force created life as we know it” my argument will be simple.  I don't know everything, and I'm not under the slightest obligation to scientifically demonstrate NOW creation as we know it Got here.  I'm certainly not against deriving pleasure from the Beauty of Nature.  I would say that science is learning more and more about how the Evolution process works.  But I'm not just going to fill in any gaps in what I Don't know or fully understand and say "God did it".  Less would I say "God did it BECAUSE God loves mankind and has a wonderful plan for our lives"   I could sit here and argue that Chuck Smith's math probability calculacations on many things are severly flawed and I doubt any mathemetician would dispute me on that.  We aren’t arguing the existence of “some outside force” but the God of the Bible as you people say you Believe it.   That’s my problem with you in that you justify your extreme right Politics because you say such a political stance pleases your God.  If the other side comes back and says to me, “Well you are just an Ungrateful Person.  I bet God has helped you out in ways you can’t even imagine or didn’t know that He did for you.  HOW DARE YOU - - say that you don’t OWE him big?”  My first response to this is “Why are YOU getting so mad- - it’s not as if YOU were God”.  I would further say that if some Force of a supernatural nature intervened on my behalf- - I would Owe that Force.  But I would owe that Force- - even if that Force turned out not to be God.  And I would point out “If a Force WAS protecting me then that Force knows- - that I NEED that protection and WHY I need it- - - and that You people are a big part of my problem”.   At this remark some bell would probably ring and I’d have to shut up.  

If anybody doubts me that Christians used to believe in a crucified, bloodied Christ, but not a Risen Christ they need only read the Justin Martyr "Apology I" where the words "tomb" or "Peter" "James" "John" or "Jesus rose" or "stone" in connection to any tomb- - do not Appear.  Nowhere in the Apology does it in any connect the word Resurrection with anything Jesus Did.  I kid you not.  The only proof of immortality was that others believed in it, and there were a lot of necromancers and demonic activity around.  None of the resurrection stories seem to be known of by Justin Martyr despite his extensive knowledge of other things that Jesus said.  Also the words "three days' and "third day" don't appear.  But in exhaustive word searching I finally came up with this brief text near the end - - -  But Sunday is the day on which we all hold our common assembly, because it is the first day on which God, having wrought a change in the darkness and matter, made the world; and Jesus Christ our Saviour on the same day rose from the dead. For He was crucified on the day before that of Saturn (Saturday); and on the day after that of Saturn, which is the day of the Sun, having appeared to His apostles and disciples, He taught them these things, which we have submitted to you also for your consideration.
