I consider myself to be pretty tough-minded. ...Kid,<br />I consider myself to be pretty tough-minded. When I was in the military you learn to follow orders and do things you wouldn't normally do. <br /><br />When I was a cop, I learned that so much of the job was politics and we were the armed enforcers. You learn to deal with that a remember why you came on the job.<br /><br />I was the union president for years and I fought hard against politicians who wanted the credential of a police endorsement. <br /><br />Now that I'm a teacher I find solace in my classroom and my day-to-day inter action with my students. That's what I love and I look forward to getting to school everyday. There are a lot like me. <br /><br />The union, on the other hand, is a political action committee for the Dems. They take my dues money and donate to any number of left-wing organizations. Their emphasis isn't on representing teachers, it's about solidifying their power. <br /><br />I don't belong to the union, although Ohio is not a right-to-work state, so I have to pay dues anyway. What a load of crap.

I've talked to many teachers who quit when the fed took it over and made it some nonsensical union serving beast. Good people. The marginal people opt for the job security, stay in the system, and therefore drag it down to their level - at best.<br /><br />So, it's been happening in your field of expertise (if true) and now it's going to start happening throughout our Health Care system. Out with the good A players and in with the marginal to incompetent.<br /><br />I can't come up with some construct that doesn't turn this country into a hell hole post haste. I hate to be negative. It's a 180 of my personality. I've always found ways to be optimistic, but this one is a real tough nut. We're going down with the new generation of 'leaders' we have on board. Man, I'd hate to be a kid today.<br /><br />The POS in the white house is taking over for clinton and picking up destroying the military too, using this fuzzy math as an excuse to strip training and all sorts of $ out of the system. They even shut down the Blue Angels. I don't think Russia even did that.<br />Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05287399775879832602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-74956299146687764282013-05-13T16:33:02.582-07:002013-05-13T16:33:02.582-07:00Kid,

I remember my frustration when in court the trial wasn't even remotely about guilt or innocence. It was always about if the prosecution (police) followed the rules. Truth has nothing to do with it.

It is a real mess.<br /><br />As soon as someone found guilty of a capital crime and given the death sentence is later found innocent, the whole system had been brought into question and made practically dysfunctional.<br /><br />Perfection is impossible. Repeat 100.<br /><br />Now, with this jodi arias thing, it became immediately obvious that the defense team was doing little more than billing hours. They weren't getting her off at any level.<br /><br />Add in the pathetic expert witnesses they brought into it at $250 an hour.<br /><br />The prosecutor even made mention of it with the defense's 100th motion for mistrial or whatever it was. He said that the court should not allow the defense to waste everyone's time anymore, then as an after-thought said, well, I guess they're not wasting their own time, their adding some more pennies to their coffers. But it's a lot more than pennies.<br /><br />It was painful to watch the defense. They purposefully talked as slow as they could, drew everything out as long as they could. When the prosecutor was making Suscinct points with largely yes/no answer questions, they'd pan over to the defense desk and the lawyer(s) would be frantically scribbling notes with a look of glee on their face, like Wow, this is going to be another hour or maybe 2 on redirect !<br /><br />Conclusion: Lawyers have attacked virtually every time saving, cost saving, common sensical abstract in America and have brought them and us to our knees.<br />Over the last several years, I've seen why the concept of lawyers being the scum of the Earth (generally speaking about trial lawyers) is damn accurate.<br /><br />Some moron falls off a ladder, the rest of us get to pay for his lottery ticket lawsuit AND 15 labels that now have to be applied to ladders.<br />Extrapolate that across every product and industry in America, least of all the Health Care industry and it's east to see the lawyers have done more to destroy our way of life than any other group.<br />Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05287399775879832602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-44958107972465582392013-05-12T20:24:17.351-07:002013-05-12T20:24:17.351-07:00Law and Order Teacher,

I have often thought that child abusers should be used for target practice, but that's another story. <br /><br />I had a detective friend who investigated child sex abuse crimes who had a sign on this desk that read "Some people are alive simply because it's against the law to kill them." I agree.

Total incompetence, Significant illegal activity, media and the repubs and federal prosecutors for that matter looking the other way.<br /><br />I don't support public executions. IN reality, it would only make capital punishment that much harder to execute and I do believe in capital punishment for some offenders. Many cannot help themselves and many have asked to be put down because they know this.<br /><br />It does bother me that some middle aged guy who has tortured, raped and eventually killed a 12 yr old girl will cry about the pain of the needle being stuck in his arm when the time comes. I'd rather see him in stocks, baseball bats applied at speed to his joints and finally to his crotch until he takes his last breath, but that will never happen, so I'll be content with removing them with the needle. At least some dust bunnies for brains morons won't pardon him/her in 15 years and they come out and take someone else's 12 yr old daughter.

Just as Ruby Ridge and the Branch Davidians fates didn't deter the Aryans, this will just inflame the wrong people. <br /><br />The death penalty has a lot of problems because it's administered by humans. I have a lot of problems with the government administering anything. We should watch the government like a hawk. <br /><br />Now the IRS is targeting the Tea Party. They said it was inappropriate. Cussing at a teachers is inappropriate. Targeting law abiding citizens with IRS harassment is illegal. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-52618787997547122002013-05-12T07:19:28.080-07:002013-05-12T07:19:28.080-07:00With all due respect to opposing points-of-view, t...With all due respect to opposing points-of-view, to my previous comments, I submit the following link to a situation, currently, going on here in the Denver area in support thereof.<br /><br />http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/man-on-death-row-for-pizza-murders-wants-new-trialJonBerghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01718776762194333398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-42821420541781856132013-05-11T20:52:55.060-07:002013-05-11T20:52:55.060-07:00I too believe in the death penalty, but please, le...<i>I too believe in the death penalty, but please, let's not celebrate it.<br />Surely we're past that sort of thing.</i><br /><br />Public executions of those sentenced to death would guarantee that it is not cruel nor unusual.(((Thought Criminal)))https://www.blogger.com/profile/17311656184275255223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-48003199705888828792013-05-11T17:49:47.840-07:002013-05-11T17:49:47.840-07:00Jon,
