As well, he should have been declared as a dangerous offender with his conduct during the trial duly noted, which would make it even harder for him to successfully aplly for parole after serving 25 years in prison (in protective custody of course, because other inamtes would kill him if he were mixed in the general prison population).<br /><br />Bernie, I know that you're against any corporal punishment, but I think that Mr. Davis could also have used 2 strokes of a S'pore-style cane for good measure. I don't think that any (male) offender should get more than 2 strokes of it in his lifetime though, and it should only be used as a final resort. Women and girls shouldn't get it at all though IMO.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-848491628396529552.post-52598747750455087172012-05-25T20:30:27.313-07:002012-05-25T20:30:27.313-07:00Berrnie, as always I love your analysis. I agree ...Berrnie, as always I love your analysis. I agree with you that Obama must win. However, he doesn't need our support to win. He is already over the top in the undemocratic electoral college. The dozen or so "swing states" are not really swing states if you look at historical data, current polls and demographic changes. The media finds it profitable to talk about the nonexistent horse race though. <br />There are millions of votes out there that Obama doesn't need, thanks to the electoral college. We here in California, for example, should be voting third party because Obama will win here easily (of course if over 10% of the population voted third party, Obama might not win, but that's not going to happen). There are many many positions Obama has taken where you would be hard pressed to find much difference between Obama and the Republicans. A vote against him would send him a message of dissatisfaction and maybe send him in a more progressive direction. <br /> I'm not saying voting third party is going to solve all or ANY of our problems, but we need to start having serious reality-based discussions about our problems and voting third party is a start. We need to stop wasting our time with discussions of irrelevant topics like the "political horse race" or the Ryan budget, both of which are non-starters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-848491628396529552.post-50558388018468572302012-05-25T17:42:48.770-07:002012-05-25T17:42:48.770-07:00Bernie, maybe you can expand/expound on this in yo...Bernie, maybe you can expand/expound on this in your blog.<br /><br />UC Berkeley awarded about 10,000 non-doctorate degrees in one recent year.<br /><br />Stanford Univ awarded about 4,000 non-doctorate degrees in one recent year.<br /><br />Hewlett-Packard's 25,000-person layoff is equivalent to adding 2.5 years of UCB grads or over six years of Stanford grads, or about two-years worth of Stanford and UCB grads to the job-seekers market.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-848491628396529552.post-85595980516428948712012-05-24T01:21:37.103-07:002012-05-24T01:21:37.103-07:00Bernie,
You have told us so. But then again, so...Bernie,<br /><br />You have told us so. But then again, so many of these things are obviously out of balance that it makes no sense why taxpayers put up with it. <br /><br />We spend more on war and bombs than we do on education. They talk about cutting education but there is never talk on any media outlet about all the money being wasted on our military. While the wars bankrupt our country, educating our workforce and the young minds of this country gets no traction as a long term solution. We see the same absurdity occurring in the liberal California - more money on prisons and jails than out UC system. <br /><br />It is obvious to me that the wealthy in this country create emotional side issues that keep the blind - women's rights, same sex marriage, race, and even immigration. Blinded are the masses that can't focus on the obvious destruction being caused to our nation by the Wall Street Criminals and war mongerers who profit off the war. These villains are raping our country and mocking our system in the process. These are the people who should be n jail for treason. I hope they see the same fate as the former leaders ousted by the Arab Spring. <br /><br />But Bernie, these things are obvious. But, the question I have for the lion of the left is how can we wake up the masses ?. There must be a way. What message can wake people up ? What method can be used to distribute this message ? We need solutions and ideas. We can't give up. There must be a way. Can we glean anything from world history that might give us some insight ? How can we use the Internet, twitter, etc. Is their hope ?<br /><br />JR from San JoseJR from San Josehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402715624187960451noreply@blogger.com
