Guess I'm Not as Zealous About the Law...

DISCLAIMER:  I am in too much of a happy, self-centered mood to post even a halfway decent entry on such a serious, involved topic as the law.  I'll leave that to Guy Incog and Southern Substance who seem to be having a field day!

Three legal topics that I'm somewhat concerned with at the moment are 1) the state of juvenile justice nationwide, 2) drug use prosecution, and 3) the use of torture (waterboarding) by the US government.

1.  Juvenile Justice - I'm now serving on a gov't. committee devoted to improving my state's juvie system, and I've become aware of just how messed up "problem kids" have it nationwide.   Instead of a preventive system, most states rely on reactionary penal plans that do nothing to uproot the problem and in many ways only perpetuate it.  The cycle: Kids commit a minor offense, are arrested, sent to a program for rehabilitation, get a criminal record, have documented baggage for the rest of their life, can't get a decent job, turn to crime - all because they stole a piece of gum at age 14.  I wish I could change this/am working to change this.  *I know my "cycle" is a gross generalization.  I certainly COULD have gone into more specifics, but SEE DISCLAIMER.*

2. Drug User prosecution - I forget what movie it was, but I saw a film a few years back that opened my eyes to just how deep the drug game really runs.  Prior to that movie, I'd always demonized and judged the local drug dealers and users as the chief enemy of urban/underprivileged/minority communities.  Then I learned about the SUBURBAN drug suppliers and international cartels and began despising US law officials.  Why prosecute small-time drug users/sellers so aggressively when they are very much the pawns of a much larger system?  We're essentially punishing the "victims" of the drug world and making very little progress where it counts - the top...among the wealthy decision makers.  At the local level, people are buying and selling drugs just to cope and survive.

3.  Let's be honest.  In the game of global politics and intelligence, dangerous times call for unconventional & sometimes undiplomatic actions to maintain power and security.  On a philosophical level, waterboarding or any other form of torture is clearly wrong; however, who can deny its utility in certain situations? I'm not pro-torture, but I'm also not naive and radical enough to overlook the unfortunate value of torture in obtaining information.   I would speculate that in the past, torture has saved American lives time and time again.  We are just unaware of these instances, and our ignorance allows us to stand firmly on the wavering moral foundation of anti-torture arguments.  Ignorance is bliss.  One day, the current administration may have to practice what they preach and make the difficult decision to resort to torture once again.  Only time will tell.

In my mind, every rule should have conditions, and just as the death penalty is employed case by case, so should torture ... just being realistic (wow, that's an ugly thing to say).  I guess an alternative to waterboarding is telling the hostage we'll bomb the enemy holdings (his country/family) until he talks... There's no good answer.

Be well,

Justice

"When I was sure, I would find a quiet way, and I would kill him."
-The Lovely Bones

In a perfect world, it would be easy to lay down punishments for various crimes, but it inevitably becomes very complicated in this imperfect world of ours. I'll try anyway.

Murder, rape -
Perfect world: We are always able to prove guilt beyond any doubt. There is a high-resolution video of the crime where the culprit is holding up his driver's license and humming a ditty that includes his name and SS#. DNA evidence corroborates and we have a confession that we know was not extracted under duress and are absolutely sure that the criminal was mentally sound. Criminal is either executed immediately or, at the request of the victim, tortured to death. If he was mentally unsound for reasons beyond his control, rehabilitate and monitor.
Our world: We'll almost never have no doubt of a person's guilt. Thus, life without the possibility of parole keeps the alleged criminal away from society while giving him/her the chance to be exonerated. An unjust and expensive system.

Other serious crimes -
Perfect world: Rehabilitation works. The child molester sees the light and goes on to become a wonderful man. Society gains a productive individual. The prisons are emptied.
Our world: Recidivism rates make rehab of criminals a joke. It is abhorrent to have your child molested by someone who was sent to prison... for molesting children. If you were innocent or made a youthful mistake and were sentenced to hard time, you're coming out bitter, unable to relate to society, and hardwired into dysfunctional behavior.

Minor crimes-
Perfect world: You are cited by a police officer and human decency prevents you from ever repeating the crime.
Our world: Not getting pwned for minor crimes leads you to commit other minor crimes. All of a sudden you're before a judge and your previous offenses require a minimum prison sentence. You don't complete high school and spend your formative years in prison. You're then released, given a yellow passport, and expected to merge seamlessly back into society. Doesn't work.

Reduce My Time-Out, Please?

I know I'd be singing a different tune if someone I know and care about is getting locked up. I'd be thankful for that option of a reduced sentence for good behavior.

But, it just doesn't seem fair...If you were being bad, and you got jail time for it...then you're doing time! Like damn!

The only time I was sent to the corner was the first day of school. I was laughing too much and was distracting other children at lunch. I couldn't stop. I was endangering the welfare of other children at the table. Someone could have choked! I had to sit in my cubby for 5 minutes. I'm pretty sure I wasn't laughing then. And even though I was a model student after sentencing, I didn't get any time off from my time out. Why should people who did REALLY bad things get their time down for finally behaving while they're sent to their rooms?

Makes no damn sense

ALSO...The other day on the subway, I saw this drunk guy (middle of the day, too...smh) was being a little verbally belligerent to these two women. I couldn't really hear what they were saying (my headphones were on) but I heard snippets. I think the women were trying to laugh it off but the guy just got hostile. At one point, one of the women said that she will mace him if he keeps it up. He said "Go ahead! I'm a federal f*cking officer."

Who KNOWS if he really is a fed, but that got me thinking. What if she DID mace his drunk ass? So I asked around - law students, people that have dealt with the law, etc. And of course I consulted with the internet. Here is what I got:

ASSAULTING A FEDERAL OFFICER - 18 U.S.C. 111, makes it a Federal crime or offense for anyone to forcibly assault a Federal officer while the officer is engaged in the performance of his official duties.

A person can be found guilty of the offense of assaulting a Federal officer only if all of the following facts are proved beyond a reasonable doubt:

First: That the person forcibly assaulted the person described in the indictment; Second: That the person assaulted was a Federal officer as described above, then engaged in the performance of his official duty, as charged; and Third: That the person did such acts knowingly and willfully.

It is not necessary to show that the person knew the person being forcibly assaulted was, at that time, a Federal officer carrying out an official duty so long as it is established beyond a reasonable doubt that the victim was, in fact, a Federal officer acting in the course of his duty and that the person willfully committed a forcible assault upon him.

On the other hand, the person would not be guilty of a willful assault if the evidence leaves a reasonable doubt concerning whether the person knew the victim to be a Federal officer and only acted as he did because of a reasonable, good faith belief that he needed to defend himself against an assault by a private citizen.

I'm still not sure what would happen if that case when to trial. I mean, the guy was drunk and HOPEFULLY off-duty if he was drunk like that. I feel the women had a right to mace him if they feel threatened. At the VERY least, I think the guy should have a mark on his record or something. If, as a fed, he's protected by the law on a higher level than anyone else regardless of whether he's on or off duty, I think he should be held accountable for his actions regardless of whether or not he's on or off duty.

I was a UGA (undergrad advisor...like an RA) at Dartmouth and was expected to keep the peace and keep my residents happy. At the same time, I was expected to hold myself to a higher standard, meaning I shouldn't have to be carried off to the infirmary for getting myself super drunk. I should set an example. Shouldn't a federal officer be thought of similarly?

What do you think? What do you think should happen if the women maced the guy?

My Courtroom – My Rules:

Plea Bargains are BULLSHIT.

If you knew about a crime or helped commit one, your ass should burn as well. I hate that shit- two people go on a murdering spree or something of that nature, and then one gets offered a lucrative deal; talk and you get five years- just tell us about the crime. Now…I know that cops are often unable to solve a case without the help of an insider, but fuck that. Lie to his ass and then burn him; don’t feel sorry about it either- they didn’t feel sorry for their victim…so why should we care!

I know…that’s not realistic…if we treated people like that, then no one would trust the hard working men and women that make up our justice system but I’ll be damned if some murderer gets a few years for spilling the beans or for good behavior. There are murderers, rapists, and child molesters that lurk among us, free from jail for “Good Behavior” or some Plea Bargain, or worse, because some jail house therapist deemed them no longer a threat to society….

UM WHAT…?

If I ran the justice system…yea…lets just sit and brainstorm for a minute. How would I punish for some of these crimes that are being committed…? And yea…I know juries decide etc…but if the criminal was just in front of me and I got to make the executive decision…hmm.

-Notes- We’re going to assume that all of these are proven and/or that the criminal has confessed.

Death Penalty- To me, this doesn’t mean sit and rot in a cell for 30 years (Hi Charles Manson)- this means you die. You have 1 year to appeal in which time your case will be fully reviewed. If you are deemed guilty again…you will die as soon as a spot is available. No need for a second appeal- no third time’s a charm! Crimes include but are not limited to: Child rape/molestation, Murder (except for self-defense), rape…

Life in Prison- Means…LIFE IN PRISON. There’s no I found Jesus, let me out. Nope…you could have found Him outside of prison while you were planning/committing those crimes. Better make friends and play nice because you will remain here until the day you die. Try to escape= death. Kill/Harm/Rape another prisoner or a guard=death. Crimes include- Bestiality, Torture (of prisoners/people, animals), Attempted murder…

20 years- You haven’t killed anyone but your actions have almost done so. For example – driving under the influence and crashed into someone and now they are paralyzed. Shot someone to escape while committing robbery. You should know better and therefore you shall suffer. Crimes include: drug dealing/trafficking (non-Americans deported and banned for life), spousal/child abuse (not sexual in nature). Repeat offenders get LIFE.

10 years- “Lesser Crimes”- 10 years is a good amount of time to think about what you have done. It’s long enough that you suffer but short enough that when you leave…you still have a chance to prove your worth. Crimes include- robbery, drunk driving (no one harmed), prostitution/soliciting a prostitute, possession of drugs with intent to use (yes my little Weed Thing would have gotten me 10 years), shoplifting, breaking and entering. Repeat offenders get 20 years.

Things like –loitering, public intoxication (not driving though) and things like this would net you 2 years house arrest. A second conviction would lead to 10 years though in prison though.

-------------------------------

Now…my jails aren’t much fun either… no luxuries such as McDonald’s, no tv’s with cable – you are not on vacation. You will work in some way to earn your spot back in society (even if I gave you life lol)- whether it be clearing trash off of the highways, or making license plates. I will allow you to make a little bit of money for which you can buy practical stuff: soap, shampoo, underwear. No cigarettes because people will sell them, no candy or Little Debbie cakes. You could have had all you wanted outside of Jail…you decided you didn’t want them so you don’t get them. No CONJUGAL VISITS (remember that raping someone in jail will get you killed with the swiftness my dear- consider whether or not you can handle many sexless years before committing a crime!)

Criminals are also becoming younger and younger so I have to consider this when making my list. I have to think about how my mind was at these ages, which sucks for them because I had a great grasp on the world very early. I knew about rape/torture and murder when I was 10 years old so um…to be nice… anyone under 14 will have slightly different standards (yes…14 is what we consider young…but think about the crimes that these kids are now commiting- rapes, murders, and they KNOW that they wont get any time past their 18th birthdays). Anyone 13 or younger will remain in juvenile incarceration (similar to regular prison except no one is over 21) until their 21st birthday for murder, rape, torture, animal abuse, robbery, assault etc. Upon turning 21 they will be released at which point if they reoffend they get whatever punishment is listed above. “Lesser” crimes will see them in prison until their 18th and another offense will result in the above punishments! 14 and above = treated as an adult.

Basically don’t fuck up and let me prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt. <3. You don't like it?...I hear Canada is lenient lmao.

Sometimes a perfect plan still ends poorly

It goes without saying that I'll spend the rest of my life hearing jokes about unscrupulous, greedy lawyers. That comes with the territory, and doesn't bother me much since I'm only becoming a lawyer for the money and prestige. What really bothers me is that, despite all my careful planning, I may still get screwed.

Law used to be kind of like the federal government. That is, if you could get your foot in the door, you were set for life barring an unfortunate bout of investigative journalism that publicized your yawning incompetence. Unfortunately, things are changing now.

The life cycle of a lawyer works (or worked) like this.

Stage 1: You're born and live the first 18-24 (depending on how slow you are relative to the general population) years of your life in kind of a fuzzy haze. During that time, you attend school but fail to realize that picking up marketable skills somewhere along the line might be a good idea for when your parents are tired of supporting you.

Stage 2: This cycle is typically triggered by the realization that you're broke and your parents think you should be inviting your dates to places that aren't your parents' house. Our nascent lawyer brainstorms. He digs deep and figures out that he isn't actually good at anything that people pay other people money to do. In the depths of despair, he googles "trade industry requiring no inherent talent". Within hours, he has begun studying for the LSAT.

Stage 3: Our budding lawyer is now in law school. Law school is a lot like college and high school except it's legal to drink the entire time. That is the only discernible difference. Actually, that trivializes things. If you go to a top school, you're probably pretty smart and don't experience an unprecedented jump in difficulty. With your future assured, you spend most of your time perfecting your solid handshake and learning to play golf. If you don't go to a top school, you're what people in the legal industry refer to as gg'ed.

Stage 4: Assuming that our neophyte esquire either A.) went to a really good law school or B.) was in the top of his class, he gets an offer to work at a firm that pays him a godlike sum to do fascinating research and interface with intellectual giants like himself.

Stage 5: Our successful lawyer dies surrounded by his wife, loving children, mountains of cocaine, and any hookers that he did not murder.

Unfortunately, the economy has left stage 4 in shambles, thereby directly compromising stage 5. Bear Stearns? Thelen? Gone. Firms and banks that had existed for decades and were considered too big to fail failed. As they collapsed, they took out much of the job infrastructure that supported the bright eyed MBA and JD graduates. Now, we face an uncertain future. Read more...

Streppin...

A little under the weather today...

I'll just suck it up and post anyway (skipping work...). Forgive me if this post is a failure...my mind is not right right now.

I have been perusing other blogs lately trying to get ideas for styling and structuring blog posts as I'm still relatively new at this. One blog that I happen to love (but most people think is trash) is Perez Hilton. Its hilarious to me how he trashes these celebrities who, in most cases, deserve the treatment. Cheating on your husband (Hi...LeAnn Rimes...) he's going to trash you. Some are undeserving but...eh.. they chose to be celebrities in the spotlight...take the good with the bad. Well...as we all know- Perez was a judge in the Miss USA (or some random pageant...why are there so many?) Pageant and asked one of the ladies, Miss California her opinion on gay marriage which she gave...



Now while I am all for being honest and straightforward...I would have also realized that this question was heavily weighted and I, if I really wanted to win this and didn't care about morals etc, would have given a more PC response a la "Without regard to my religion, I believe that we as a country should not interfere in people's personal lives...this country was built supposedly to be a land of free expression and freedom from persecution...we cannot continue to persecute" blah blah blah. In that, I stated that my religion does NOT support this (which is what her Church wanted to hear) without stating that I actually agree with gay marriage (I do...but I'm playing Miss California right now) or that I personally think they should be able to wed (again...Miss California). Tada...you offended no one. Think about it...who the hell watches these pageants? A mixture of people...including gay men and women. Try not to isolate your crowd, my dear. After you win...then you can talk all the shit you want. Most of the girls are taught ways to dodge difficult questions while seemingly answering them. They practice for weeks on what topics might come up and how to answer them. Knowing Perez Hilton was a judge should have been an "I'm going to get asked about gay marriage or something...prep for that".

Well...after she lost there was this big hoopla because she was running around claiming that she lost solely because of that question (though...we later found out that the winner Miss North Carolina was leading after every round) and that it wasn't fair to target her solely. Blah blah... Anyway...a former Miss California...the 2003 one (now an ordained minister) comes out with a statement that makes such total sense to me and shares many of my views... Copied from Perezhilton.com (any highlights...bolds etc are my emphasis alone :))
----------------------------------------------

"As a pastor and a former Miss California, I am often asked to interpret what the Word of God has to say on a particular subject. I am quite confident that God prefers that we human beings stick to speaking for ourselves. And yet there are occasions when God’s Word is used as a weapon, and I feel compelled to speak.

In the past few days, much has been made of the words of Miss California USA, Carrie Prejean. She stated that marriage is between a man and a woman. I write not in response to her opinion, but rather about her comments that followed: that the Bible condones her words. She said, 'It's not about being politically correct, it's about being biblically correct.' While this sentiment is shared by many who seek to condemn gay people and gay marriage, citing pieces of the Bible to further one’s own prejudice fails to meet the Bible on its own terms.

Most people seeking to condemn gay people point to the Book of Leviticus, where we read that men lying with men is an abomination. However, we rarely hear of other verses found in the book of Leviticus that are equally challenging. For example, Leviticus also tells us that eating shrimp and lobster is an abomination. And that a person should not wear material woven of two kinds of material—an impossible mandate for a pageant contestant!

In Paul’s letter to the community in Corinth we read, ‘For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church….’ And yet these words have not prevented Christian denominations from ordaining women, such as myself. Sadly, the Bible has been used to further prejudice throughout history. We have used it to permit ourselves to enslave people; to conquer and kill; and to denigrate the earth.

The truth is that it is difficult to know for sure the intentions of the biblical authors, but we do know something about God. Those of us who know God through Jesus of Nazareth know that he went to great lengths to express God’s love to people who were labeled as outcasts. He spent time with children, prostitutes, and lepers, all of whom were labeled as outside of the grasp of the Holy. As we continue to seek God’s vision for us as a nation grounded in a love for justice, I pray that we might move closer to the cause of grace.”

------------------------------

PREACH SISTER!




P.S. I'm not saying Miss California should not be able to express her views (though I think that if she wanted to win...she could have found a happy median)...everyone should be able to express their views. I just wish there would be a little more dialogue involved. I listen to your opinions...you hear my rebuttal and then my opinions..then you speak your opinions again etc. I would love the two Miss California's to sit and talk...that would be interesting.

Staying Fresh: Part Deux

I'm not talking about staying mentally fresh. I mean don't get me wrong. Staying mentally fresh is great! We need to be proactive about staying social and avoiding Alzheimer's before it's too late. But, summer is approaching. FAST. Staying fresh on the outside is important, too. VERY important.

A few things:
1. GET YOUR DEODORANT GAME UP.
Do what works for you and your B.O. If you like the gel sports ones, go for it. They usually smell good. Fresh scent. Old Spice has some nice minty ones. It's not for everyone though because it's still Old Spice. If you like the powdery kind, go for that too. It's got a lighter scent (and variety of light scents now, too!). It's not sticky to put on. Secret is great for that. Don't get locked into the gender thing with deodorant. Women can use Old Spice and men can use Secret. You smell good, you smell good. I haven't tried the designer deodorants so I'm not sure how they hold up in the prescription strength summer heat. Let me know if you know.

2. While we're on the subject of your pits, SHAVE.
Boys and girls alike. SHAVE. All that sweat and mashing of sweat is NOT a good look or smell. Men shaving their pits is a sexy thing. Trust me. It is not emasculating. If your pit hair is what makes you a man, you're not much of a man to begin with. But if you won't shave it off, at least trim that ish DOWN. No one needs sweat and bacteria festering in there. And UGH @ little white deodorant balls stuck in pit hairs. UGH.

3. CLEAN NAILS.
I mean clean nails are always a must. I get super annoyed at work because we only use dry erase markers and that stuff get in the nails so easily. (If someone knows how to get rid of that stuff fast, holla atcha girl.) But I'm talking about TOENAILS. Sandals and flippy floppiess are coming out of the closet. PLEASE get those toenails trimmed and CLEAN. UGH. SO DISGUSTO when I see folks with some crust and grit all UP in those joints looking like they just got back from digging for truffles with their feet in the deep woods. If you're letting those piggies out, please be presentable when you are presenting them.

4. CLEAN CLOTHES.
If you like that white tee in the summer look because you look so fresh to def when you do it, then wear a WHITE tee. Not some yellow at the collar and PITS (again) white tee. If you're gonna be fresh, then BE FRESH. Otherwise, invest in some other summer colors. And do the laundry, people. Clothes, especially SOCKS, don't stay very detergent smelling for long when the sun is blazin' on you.

5. SHOWER. WASH YOUR HAIR.
General upkeep of your hygiene is always important. It's just of UTMOST importance in the summer.

Basically:

Take care of yourself and don't offend.

Keep it real. Keep it fresh.

Especially if you're riding the subway with me.

You stank? You'll get the illest stank look from me. Avoid that.

How to Stay Fresh, Young, Happy, and Fun!

When you're 20-something years old, you've got a lot on your plate.  You're in perhaps the most important and definitive period in your life, and every move you make has implications near and far. The challenge of this period is only amplified by the fact that most of us are desperately and justifiably holding onto our youth and cravings for fun, adventure, ... freedom.  

Chances are you're  in college, employed, in a masters or PhD program, whatever! No matter what, you need to learn how to capitalize on your fun intake so that the effects or "high" can last you until your next..."hit."  I'm sure if you're reading this, you've already started seeing the signs of rapid fun-loss in your life.  So, based on my experience this past weekend, here's what I propose: High concentrated doses of "fresh thrill."  Trust me and try it. You have nothing to lose

Directions:

a) When you ARE free, don't allow yourself to sulk, relax all your time away, or detox (as appealing as these might be).  Instead, spend your free time having adventures, intense conversations, and new experiences.  I understand you may think after a long week, "I just want to sleep."  Well, sleeping and working is probably all that you've done the entire week (stressing is work, and oftentimes "sulking/time alone = you stressing, thus by deductive reasoning?)!  Rather than continue the cycle, INJECT SOME FLAVA into your life.  Free time is a chance to do something different and create a checkpoint that refreshes you mentally.   Then you can tackle the next few monotonous days without thinking about the previous week's baggage.  Adventures serve as dividers & breaks that help prevent you from being overwhelmed by past unhappiness.

b) I know you LOVE your friends, but you STILL need a "no strings" Play Buddy.  What do I mean?  Friends are great - with you through thick and then, understanding (hopefully), they know your struggles and you know theirs, etc.  Well, guess what.  That's not good to have all of the time.  If you are just hanging with the same person or friend group, most likely you all are simply nursing each others' wounds and entertaining occasional distractions.   "Wound nursing" and group pity sessions are fun, but you've probably already seen the maximum output/benefit from those activities.  AGAIN, rather than chasing the same experiences and people, INJECT SOME FLAVA into your life.  Talk to that random dude or chick that seems to have the great personality.  You're not looking for love, but seeking NEWNESS and FRESH IDEAS.  Play buddies are often more cathartic than friends in that rather than talking about the usual/current aspects of your world, they temporarily divert and focus your attention on new and sometimes more valuable things.  Oftentimes, you'll find yourself feeling more fulfilled, smiling wider, and laughing harder with play buddies, especially if you've been down in the dumps.

*play buddies can evolve into friends, and that's fine!  That just means you'll have gained another intimate relationship and helpful perspective for living.

c) Comfort is important, but it's not always the answer.  For some people, their biggest comfort comes from hitting up the usual spot, chilling with the same crowd, watching the same show or game, or even drinking/drugging up. Come on now!  GO ON, and take a "risk!"  Realize that you're causing your own paralysis and stagnation by only incorporating the same few inputs in your life.  Use the same inputs and you get the same outputs.  Instead of going to the normal bar, go to the jazz club and make a friend.  Rather than ordering your typical burger, try the salmon salad (you may feel healthier and discover a new favorite dish).  Put down the beer for a night and try drinking just water, juice, and soda.  Who knows! You might finally have a Monday where you remember all the fun you had over the weekend  AND you won't have to waste another Sunday in a drunken stupor, looking and feeling a HOT MESS. Certainly, avoiding the "Hot Mess Sunday" might make for a better week in general.

So let's synthesize all of the above points into one phrase for easy digestion: While antiques should be valued and treasured, a healthy life is only sustained by that which is good and fresh.

Go find yourself some new "ish"...seriously.  Don't be boring.  

Be well & Stay Fresh!

*Highlights* - The Other Side of Evil

SOUTHERN SUBSTANCE says:

So I was bored on Friday while waiting to go out with friends and decided to watch a movie that I had been hearing about for some time. The movie is called "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas" and it was a very surprisingly good movie. Its based on a book by John Boyne and is about this young boy named Bruno whose father is a high-ranking Nazi officer who is stationed to live in front of Auschwitz. Bruno goes exploring, to his mothers' horror, and discovers a "farm" far behind his house where people work. Its a classic tale of childhood innocence/misunderstanding as Bruno can't fathom what the "farmers" are doing behind his house, why his parents are acting so strangely or what the horrible smells coming from the chimneys on the farm are.

The ending was a great surprise as well...I recommend watching this (or reading this) to anyone as I feel history is very important for a better understanding of the world. This is also an interesting point of view as you get to view a Nazi family in this period - which is a seemingly unique spin. Again...ending is a huge shocker...


5/5 for surprise endings!
