I try to ...Yep, Terrie, it's me from T & T. I try to keep my more incoherent ramblings here at my blog, as the four of us at T & T are all very different politically and we try to avoid getting into politically-charged topics. <br /><br />I was watching the movie "Doubt" today and it made me think of this case. A person of authority, working in the name of God. I still can't wrap my brain around this horrible act. <br /><br />Killing a child is indefensible. Killing is wrong, but when I was working in the prison, I came to understand that not all killings are equal ... My inmate workers had killed drug dealers in deals gone bad, and they sort of looked at their crimes as a public service. Under normal circumstances, the two were harmless. Twenty years later, both are long paroled.<br /><br />I don't think Melissa Huckaby has been harmless for quite some time ... and why did no one see anything? Her family has got to know more than they are telling.<br /><br />Welcome to my blog and my rambling ideas!CaliGirl9https://www.blogger.com/profile/06639398512708841968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3785167492083077158.post-7298716497315506842009-04-21T16:13:00.000-07:002009-04-21T16:13:00.000-07:00I was interested in you, as you think like me, fro...I was interested in you, as you think like me, from Sprocket's Blog. I think it's you anyway. Caligirl...? I too am a California republican who is socially liberal and fiscally conservative. I like the way you think...Anyway, I've followed Sprocket since the first Phil Spector trial. I'm quiet though....<br /><br />But, after reading what you just wrote, I had to finally speak up. YOU JUST SAID EVERYTHING THAT I'VE BEEN FEELING! And you said it so much better than I ever could have. Thank you. I do have custody of my two grandchildren. I was able to rescue my grandchildren and get custody from a situation very similar to the Casey Anthony nightmare.<br /><br />My grandson is six and my granddaughter is three. These kids are so beautiful and so vulnerable that it terrifies me to death. I don't even leave them with babysitters. I struggle every day to remember that to grow and be healthy, I can't be hyper vigilant. I have to let them outside to play, to ride their bikes, to explore their world. I'm lucky though...I live in the country and there just aren't many people around here. They don't get very far from me, they are always within yelling distance.<br /><br />Anyway..enough of a ramble...see what happens when I talk? I don't shut up.<br /><br />Thanks again for expressing so well all that is in my heart about this case and about raising children in today's world.<br /><br />TerrieFuzzywuzzy Knickerbockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877183739424987682noreply@blogger.com
