I was at work one day and said something to the effect that people will get worked up over religion and that I do not. I got asked if I was an atheist. Well there is a first time for everything. That is the first time anyone ever asked me that.



I believe in a God or creator. I just do not get overly excited about dogma and doctrine. In fact, a person is welcome to believe or think whatever they want. IF someone believes there is not a God or finds that a illogical, irrational thought, I say more power to them.



I cannot prove to them without a shadow of a doubt that God extists. I do not know if they can prove to me that he does not. I figure when I die I will find out which one of us is right. Until then, I choose not to get all upset over religion or someone else's lack thereof. I think it is a waste of time.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, caused a stir at a Senate hearing this week when he repeated his view that gay sex is immoral and should not be condoned by the military.



Pace, who retires next week, said he was seeking to clarify similar remarks he made in spring, which he said were misreported.



"Are there wonderful Americans who happen to be homosexual serving in the military? Yes," he told the Senate Appropriations Committee during a hearing Wednesday focused on the Pentagon's 2008 war spending request.



"We need to be very precise then, about what I said wearing my stars and being very conscious of it," he added. "And that is, very simply, that we should respect those who want to serve the nation but not through the law of the land, condone activity that, in my upbringing, is counter to God's law."



Anti-war protesters sitting behind Pace jeered the four-star general's remarks with some shouting, "Bigot!" That led Committee Chairman Sen. Robert Byrd, D- West Virginia., to adjourn the hearing abruptly and seal off the doors.



The hearing resumed about five minutes later in which Pace said he would be supportive of efforts to revisit the Pentagon's policy so long as it didn't violate his belief that sex should be restricted to a married heterosexual couple.



I would be very willing and able and supportive" to changes to the policy "to continue to allow the homosexual community to contribute to the nation without condoning what I believe to be activity -- whether it to be heterosexual or homosexual -- that in my upbringing is not right," Pace said.



Pace's lengthy answer on gays was prodded by Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, who said he found Pace's previous remarks as "very hurtful" and "very demoralizing" to homosexuals serving in the military.



In March, the Chicago Tribune reported that Pace said in a wide-ranging interview: "I do not believe the United States is well served by a policy that says it is OK to be immoral in any way."



Harkin said he wanted to give Pace a chance to amend his remarks in light of his retirement.



"It's a matter of leadership, and we have to be careful what we say," Harkin said.



Pace noted that the U.S. Military Code of Justice prohibits homosexual activity as well as adultery. Harkin said, "Well, then, maybe we should change that."



*****************************************



Since when is a military man an expert on what is immoral and what is not? I do not think he is a moral authority. We needed him to focus here. I think he is suffering for ADHD. Maybe the war in Iraq has been mishandled, because this dude is trying to find gays in the military and not fighting the war. Someone, Bob Woodward perhaps, should check into this.



I understand that many Americans were raised to believe homosexual behavior was wrong. Did you ever attend Sunday school or a church service? Did you ever hear someone say that was sick in reference to gay or lesbian behavior? I am sure one or both of the above questions will garner a yes answer. I reject the notion that gay and lesbians are out of pocket. At least, they are being true to themselves. I wonder how many straight people stayed married to someone they did not love, because everyone expected something of them. I wonder how many straight or so called straight people avoided certain acts, because they did not want the label of gay or lesbian. I would probably be sitting here for days if I attempted to name all of them.



If someone who is gay or lesbian wants to serve in the military, I feel that is their right. Having to hide who you are is tough enough. Having a general speak out against your preference is making things tougher for some of our men and women in uniform. Just think- some lesbian is putting their asses on the line in Iraq and now a general is running his mouth against something that was none of his business .

Well, I had to make a decision and I made it. I was liking the job at Dell, but the commute was too long. I felt like that everything I was making that was more than my old salary was going into gas. When you go in the hole that way, you are not making more money. So, I am going back to my old job tomorrow night. I will have more time to go back to school and will be able to have a more flexible work schedule.



I know some would consider it a step backwards, but I do not. I know the job, I know the drill with the co-workers and I have plenty of time to think. Sounds like a plan to me. I love it.



I have discovered that certain people in my life mean well, but their choices are not the ones I would make. That does not mean they are wrong or they are right. Just means I am not them. No bad thing there . I think they are their own people, thank you.



Some people who know me get me wrong. My mother knows that. I do not think I am holier than thou. I just do not choose to do certain things. I do enough without adding more to it. I doubt myself just like everyone else. I just do not see the need to carry a cardboard sign like everyone else. I hate myself at times, but I get over myself too. I do not want to wallow in what is wrong with my life so much that I fail to see what is right. That is not good. You will want to change everything and lose some things that mean more than you ever realized. That is not good. I cannot say that enough. You are doing yourself a disservice by letting others know how rotten you are. That is counterproductive. They may believe you. Plus, others can be more willing to tell you. They will let you know. Just ask.

Call me a socialist. I do not care. Health care is needed for everyone in this country. Now , if you belong to one of two groups you may find yourself getting health care. Make that three groups. The wealthy can afford not only the best legal advice and representation money can buy (OJ Simpson comes to mind. ), but can also get the best medical care around. Many would say that they worked hard and deserve to reap the benefits of their hard work. I agree.



If you are poor, you will receive Medicaid or some type of assistance. Now, I do hope no-one is operating under the illusion that the care you receive on Medicaid is the same as you get if you are a multi-millionaire. I have a friend that had to leave a mental hospital earlier than most rational people would have agreed to. His medicaid did not cover more than a few days. I know a child that was told he was a ward of the state ( He is on Medicaid) and that he could wait. This was said by a doctor. Wonder what happened to the oath he took?



The eldery receive help, but it is not the same as a wealthy eldery person receiving medical care. Some of our oldest citizens are choosing between eating the whole month and filling their prescriptions. Many would question why their children and families are not helping. Chances are if they are poor, their families are as well.



I know someone whose pancreas is not functioning. She was kicked out of a long term care facility , because her insurance got tired of paying. Insurance companies are in the business to make money. They are not chartiable organizations doing good deeds for mankind. Let's not confuse them with Mother Theresa or the last Pope. If we had health care, something like this should not happen.



Now, those with the big stakes in making money in the medical care or the medicine making business are going to fight tool and nail to prevent medical care for all Americans. Heavens forbid if the CEO of a major drug company cannot afford to take a vacation whenever the notion strikes him. If a doctor cannot have the biggest house in the neighborhood, I am sure there is no reason for him to go into medicine in the first place. There are some wonderful people in the field of medicine, but they are constantly overshadowed by those who want to make damn sure their pockets stay fat at all times. IF their wife cannot go to the big salon in town, all hell will break loose. A crime has been committed against humanity. That is their opinion. I wonder what the little boy who was told he was a ward of the state and could wait would say to that.



Many argue that without competition the quality of care would go down. Americans are better educated about health matters than that. Do you really think many people will find out that they have a condition and not do research on it? If you think the whole world is that dumb, maybe you should just quit your extistence on this earth. Many would say the best doctors would go to private hospitals leaving the worst in place for the poorest around. Many things can be done to prevent that. The wonderful human beings that would sacrifice good health care for those who may need it the most for more money should have their licenses pulled. I careless about how much time you went to school. You should have chosen another career if money was your prime motivation. The Italian Mob may be hiring.



There are many reasons those against free health care for all Americans would say I am a socialist or a communist. I would care less what they said. Call me a pinko. Call me red. Call me a friend of Fidel. I do not care. I just know I will never have to look in the face of a woman who was thrown out of a hospital with a non functioning pancreas and justify to her why I think free medical care is socialism. Or wrong. I will leave that to all those who declare they love democracy, when the only part of democracy they like is directly linked to captialism. If a dictatorship would line their pockets, they would sign up for that too.

I have seen people get angry when someone else in their life gets help that they think they do not deserve. I want to know who made the angry person the judge and jury of who deserves anything. I do not recall doing anything myself to deserve the space I take up on the planet. I do not know of anyone else who did something so wonderful before they were born that they had a right to the air they are breathing.



When someone you know gets help or gets ahead, you would be wise to be happy for them. If they did not hurt someone or do something illegal to obtain it, thank the Heavens above that they got some help. They could be suffering. Some are of the opinion that if they had to do without, it is no problem for another to do without. Hell, lets make everyone suffer at the same thing and make the world a truly miserable place. If I am in a bad mood or not feeling well, why should everyone else be upset? That is not a good way to be. Some are never truly thankful or grateful for anything they have. Tell them to be grateful and they will get angry at you. I am glad I woke up this morning. Someone on the planet did not. I am grateful I know that my light bill is paid. I am sure I know someone personally who is worried their lights will be cut off this week. I have food if I care to eat it. I will not be having a steak dinner this week at the finest place in town , but I will not go hungry. I will not be wearing the latest Vera Wang fashions at Kohl's ( and I so want something from that line), but at least I will not go naked. I will not be joining a gym this week. I want to. Exercise is good for a variety of reasons. But I can walk on my own two feet. Walking is free exercise. I do not have to pay to walk around my neighborhood.



Some people love to upset another's apple cart. That is because they are unhappy. I think it bothers some in my life that I make a choice to be happy. Jean-Paul Sarte, the French philosopher said life is about choices. I choose to be happy. Those who do not , well that is their choice. I am not angry at them for it. Sad about it, yes. Angry, no. They made the choice to be unhappy and to focus on the negative all the time. That is their deal. Not mine.



I am currently single. After a bad divorce and an abusive marriage that caused the bad divorce, I am a happy camper. I do not come home to someone beating on me. I do not come home to anyone berating me for hours about how horrible I am as a person. IF that happened again, I am moving out. I would not say a word. I would calmly find another place and then let everyone I wanted to know aware of my new address. I do not know all my neighbors. I had no idea the guy downstairs was moving out until I saw him move. Not knowing everyone keeps down drama and keeps my life pretty stable. And peaceful and quiet. I do not have to bring my own misery to myself. Many do so and do not realize they are doing it. Giving power to the wrong people in your life will mess you up everytime. They will hurt you. You take risks in every relationship. But you must obtain some sense of self . Some sense of who you are. IF you lose that, then you lose yourself completely. I have had to spend the last few years returning to myself after losing it. It has not been an easy road. I do not recommend it for anyone. I am always happy for my friends that have found love. Love is a wonderful thing. It has to be real and it has to work both ways. That is the only way that love will free you from being alone.



I hope everyone on the rave has a good week. I hope that you can find the beauty of your own life. I got thrilled on my way to the mailbox this morning. Three schoolchildren were looking at snails on the ground. They were excited by seeing them. Something simple in nature got their attention and made them happy. My son use to get happy when he saw snails. I had to smile. When others may have been Oh no not another Monday, I will thrilled to death to be alive. Simple things do mean a lot. The children were not going out their way to make me feel better and I did not demand their doing so. It was the unexpected. That made all the difference.

ST. GEORGE, Utah (CNN) -- A reluctant child bride told a Utah jury Friday that she was trying to preserve her "eternal salvation" when she obeyed a command by polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs to marry her cousin at age 14.



Referred to in court as Jane Doe, the young woman was married in a 2001 religious ceremony officiated by Jeffs to the cousin, then 19. She said she disliked him because he once had sprayed her with a water hose on a freezing day.



"I preferred to stay away from him," she said.



Later, miserable in her marriage, she testified she sought a meeting with Jeffs, and she told him she couldn't see herself having a family with her husband and "could not do what they expected me to do." She begged to be released from the marriage, she said.



But Jeffs told her she needed to repent and to "go home and give myself to [my husband]," she testified, and he gave her a book of teachings.



Afterward, she said, she was extremely depressed, saying Jeffs "was the only one who could get me out, and he wouldn't."



Jeffs, 51, who leads the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, is charged with two counts of rape as an accomplice for using his church authority to coerce the unwilling juvenile into marriage.



About two dozen followers, mostly men in Western-cut suits, crowded into the courtroom, about 50 miles from the sect's base in the twin border towns of Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City, Arizona.



While they slowly rose from their seats as ordered when Judge James Shumate entered the courtroom, the followers popped up unbidden when a shackled Jeffs was brought in.



jury of seven women and five men is hearing the case. Testimony began late Thursday afternoon, and Jane Doe was the first witness. Dressed in a business-like skirt and jacket, she took the stand for about an hour and returned Friday.



Her testimony provided a snapshot of a childhood spent in the sect, also known as the FLDS. It splintered from the Mormon church more than a century ago over the practice of polygamy; the Mormon church now repudiates the sect.



Regarding Jeffs, she said, "I've known him since my earliest years." Jeffs, she added, taught at Alta Academy, which she attended from the first through sixth grades. Jeffs later became headmaster at an FLDS-based school in Salt Lake City.



The young woman testified Friday she was given less than a week's notice of her impending marriage. She found out when the groom-to-be sat next to her at a family gathering, a level of intimacy not permitted among young unmarried people.



At her wedding, held in Caliente, Nevada, she testified, Jeffs told the couple to "go forth and replenish the Earth." Afterward, she said, she locked herself in a bathroom. "I cried and cried and cried," she said. Despite her reservations about her new husband, she said, she then tried to follow Jeffs' counsel to submit to him "mind, body and soul," although she had no knowledge of sex.



Photos of the girl's wedding day and afterward were entered into evidence. In some of them, she looks happy -- and she testified that she knew she should be pleased about her marriage.



"In this community, this is what we live for," she said. "This is everything a woman in this society can achieve."



When the couple returned from Nevada, she testified, she found the girlish bedroom she shared with a sister had been redecorated, a queen bed taking the place of twin beds. The bed was decorated with chocolates and cookies, she said, and had signs around it -- one saying, "Honeymoon Hideout."



The girl testified that she enjoyed her honeymoon to Mexico and Colorado, but once back in Hildale, "Every day felt like an eternity. He was continuing to touch me. I couldn't stand to be in the same room, much less 10 feet away from him."



But, according to prior testimony in the case, she did not have sex with her husband until about two months after the wedding. She testified that she was "petrified" of sex and would hide in her mother's room to avoid her husband.



When the couple did first have sex, she testified she told her husband, "I don't know what you're doing and I'm really uncomfortable, so please stop." However, he did not, she said, adding she "felt dirty and used" afterward. She swallowed two bottles of over-the-counter pain medicine, but threw it up, she testified.



She said she remained in the marriage until 2004, but avoided her husband as much as possible.



The girl testified that when she was growing up, tapes of Jeffs' 1990s lessons and sermons were played constantly on her family's home stereo or on her portable cassette player. Four of those tapes were played Thursday for the jury.

I believe in the freedom of religion provided by the United States Constitution. I do not believe that marrying young girls to people against their will and telling them the only way to be saved is to do so is freedom of religion. These girls do not have the right to choice. God gives free will. In this girl's case, Warren Jeffs and the other adults in her life took it away from her.



I have read and watched many television programs about the cult Warren Jeffs is said to be the prophet of and I am always amazed he is still breathing. I quess when you are brainwashed from an early age you are going to go along with whatever someone is telling you. The young boys in this cult are kicked out. They are referred to as the Lost Boys. They are considered competition for the older men. The older men do not want the young girls getting with the young guys. The girls are kept pure until their wedding day. So, of course the young men cannot be good enough for the virginal young ladies. Let's just cast them aside. Let's just send them out into a world they know nothing about. IF they do not survive , then it must be punishment for the very sins they committed to be banished in the first place. These are not my viewpoints. I am sure it is the reasoning used by the elders of this so called church to neglect young boys and send them into a world they are unprepared for.



Warren Jeffs is not a man of God. He is a liar, user, and someone who was probably glad to take over for his father when he died. Why should he have to go out and get a real job? The members of his little religion will support him. It does not matter to him that young girls and boys are being hurt. IT is all in the name of God to him. Or is it just his way of getting over? Either way , I am thankful he is in jail. I am sure the practices of his little cullt are still going on. The more light shed on this cult, the more people who are decent may want to put a stop to it.

Bush on Iraq: It's time for buying time again



The Associated Press says George W. Bush will ask the country tonight for "more time to let success bloom in Iraq." The Baltimore Sun says the president will be asking for "patience and sacrifice." Fox News, to its credit, puts it a little more bluntly: "Bush Wants to Buy Time," it reports.





Okay, has Bush been listening to Gun n Roses sing Patience. I do believe we need to watch what music he listens to. Perhaps, he should listen to nothing but classical music. Of course, if he does not like Mozart he may decide to invade Vienna. He may think they are tainting cans of Vienna sausages in America. Who knows?



I understand that the best possible scenario would be success in Iraq. It would mean the Iraqi people if they trully want democracy could be free. It would mean that military causalities from every nation were not in vain. I say every nation . The United States were not the only ones to send troops. If we say we live in a global community, then it is just nice to honor all the dead. It would mean Bush got something right. I do not know how important that is to most people. I am sure it is pretty important to him. At least I hope so.



Patience is a wonderful thing, but patience will only last so long. People are human. They will get impatient for results. They will get impatient for their loved ones to return to them. They will get tired of burying young men and women whose lives held such promise. Every one who has died in Iraq no matter their ethnic background, country of origin or job title was once someone's baby. Someone rocked them to sleep . Someone made sure they had what they needed. No-one has a child with the understanding they will die in another country someday. Death is a fact of life and a major fact in war. War is hell. It is not a little expedition to another side of the globe . It is not a field trip. It is not a vacation. I really wish Bush would address the reasons Bin Laden is still on the loose. I really wish he would address how come his administration did not plan for this war in Iraq. I want to know how many wars we are fighting. We have a war of ideas. We have a war on terror. I am beginning to believe Bush and his cronies are ADHD. They cannot keep their attention on one thing.



Bush is asking the American people for patience. Maybe someone should remind him of John F Kennedy's speech. It was his ingrauation address. He stated "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." Bush is asking the country for patience. Okay, Georgie Boy. What are you willing to do for the country? We are all waiting for a response. Being president was part of it. We are all waiting for the rest of it.

Yesterday things got really slow at work and I had the chance to read an interesting article on schizophrenia. It has long since been established that shizophrenia is genetically passed down. The part of this article that got me to thinking was the stress factor in how some develop shizophrenia.



Many know that the brains of young children and teenagers are not wired like adults. Teenagers still have brains that are developing. Extreme stress from their environment can damage their brains. Even a small amount of stress that a functioning adult can handle can cause harm to a child's brain. In some cases, this children will develp schizophrenia.



I had got to reading the article because a former co-worker of mine suffered from schizophrenia. She was not the stereotypical crazy person many would think. She did not show out or become unmangageable. I would say it was harder for her to have and maintain a job than most of my co-workers.



I have known children that have been through some bad things. I have seen the adults in their lives expect them to behave in the same manner another adult would. They do not want to deal with the bad behavior or bad choices the child was making. Once upon a time, children were expected to behave like adults. Children worked in factories right next to older people. Child labor laws were enacted to stop that. At one point, children were married off and expected to be parents. Laws were enacted to stop that. There are no laws governing someone's expectations of children. I am not saying children should be allowed to do what they want. They have parents to guide them. The problem comes in when the parents expect the same behavior from their child that they would display.



It is impossible to reduce the stress in everyday life. A child will experience stress in some cases that are close to normal. They may find speaking in front of their class to be very stressful. That can be handled. I think the way adults handle stress in front of a child does a lot. Flying off the deep end (Which we all have done) and making a mountain out of a mole hill is going to do more harm to a child in the long run. They may not develop a mental illness, but you can bet they will have trouble finding good coping skills.

ROTHLEY, England (CNN) -- Madeleine McCann's father says the return of his family to Britain without his missing daughter is heartbreaking but it does not mean they are abandoning the search for her.



Gerry McCann also insisted Sunday he and his wife Kate played no part in the disappearance four months ago of Madeleine despite being named by Portuguese police as suspects in the case.



The McCanns flew from Faro in southern Portugal with their 2-year-old twins Sean and Amelie. At East Midlands airport in central England, Gerry McCann said the events of the last few days had been deeply disturbing.



"While it is heartbreaking to return to the UK without Madeleine, it does not mean we are giving up the search for her," he said. The McCanns, their friends and relatives say they are holding out hope that Madeleine is alive and will be found.



"We have played no part in the disappearance of our lovely daughter Madeleine," he added.



The family then traveled to their home in the Leicestershire village of Rothley, 170 kilometers (110 miles) north of London, where dozens of TV camera crews and journalists were waiting.



The McCanns reported that Madeleine had gone missing days before her 4th birthday on May 3 from their holiday apartment in Praia Da Luz in southern Portugal.



The parents told police they had left the girl and her siblings asleep in the unlocked apartment as they dined just meters away, checking on them frequently. However, later in the evening they discovered she was missing.



The case became a sensation in the British press and then internationally, with celebrities, including soccer icon David Beckham, offering their help. The parents traveled abroad to drum up support and even met Pope Benedict XVI.



But on Friday police in Portugal named the couple suspects after finding Madeleine's blood in a car the family rented 25 days after reporting her disappearance, a family spokeswoman said.



Officers in Portimao put the couple through intense rounds of questioning over the past few days, and declared them "arguidos," which, under Portuguese law, allows investigators to pose certain types of questions.



Arguidos also get certain legal protections that are not extended to mere witnesses. The term "arguido" is generally translated as "suspect." Portuguese authorities have not commented on the investigation.



The couple had vowed to stay in Portugal to clear their name, but on Sunday family spokeswoman Justine McGuinness said the McCanns were "returning to Britain after careful thought" and to give their twins a more normal life.



"I would like to emphasize that their return is with the full agreement of the Portuguese authorities and the police," McGuinness added.



The McCanns have consistently denied any wrongdoing.



n an interview published in the Sunday Mirror, Kate McCann is quoted as saying of the Portuguese police, "They want me to lie -- I'm being framed."



Philomena McCann, the sister of Madeleine's father, told the British news network ITN that police "tried to get Kate to confess to having accidentally killed Madeleine by offering her a deal through her lawyer" in which she would say she killed Madeleine by accident "and then disposed of the body."



The Sunday Mirror quoted Kate McCann discussing the offer.



"They are basically saying, 'If you confess Madeleine had an accident, and that I panicked and hid the body in a bag for a month then got rid of it in a hire car, I'd get two or three years' suspended sentence,'" she is quoted as saying, adding, "Police don't want a murder in Portugal."



The paper also quoted her as saying Portuguese police don't want "the publicity about them not having pedophile laws here, so they're blaming us." The U.S. State Department's latest annual report on human rights practices in different countries calls the Portuguese government "strongly committed to children's rights and welfare," and cites the "high-profile trial of a pedophilia operation" in Lisbon.



Numerous friends and relatives of the McCanns have called any allegations of them having harmed the girl ridiculous.



On Saturday, Kate McCann's mother Susan Healy told ITN, "It's ludicrous. It's bizarre ... Kate never raises her voice to her children. She's the most loving and gentle mother."



"She's kind, gentle, funny, she has a good sense of humor -- a person with a good sense of integrity, as is Gerry," Susan Healy said.



A friend who has known Kate McCann for 30 years agreed that it was "unthinkable" that the McCanns would have harmed their child.



"I've not spoken to them in the last say two or three days, but I'm sure they're probably struggling," Nicky Gill told ITN in Liverpool.



"To even think that someone might harm the children. They're just family people. They love the children to death. ... I'm sure they have to be devastated to know someone would even think that."



Gill said she is convinced that the girl is still alive.



"I think she's out there somewhere. I like to think it's just a phone call

Every parent fears that their child will be kidnapped. Every parent lives with the fear something bad will happen to their children. Something like this will garner empathy from many.



Now, the parents are suspects. So many times a child has been kidnapped and later it is discovered the parents were the ones that did something to the child. Susan Smith lied and said an African American man kidnapped her sons. A smart sheriff never believed her and the whole world was shocked to find out what she did. The Jonbenet Ramsey case goes unsolved to this day. Her parents were always guilty of something in many people's minds. The mother went to her grave under a cloud of suspicion. You do not have to hurt or be blamed for hurting a child to find yourself the center of an investigation. Remember Richard Jewell. He was first a hero after the Olympic park bombing and then his life was ruined by allegations he was the bomber. Finally, Eric Rudolph was arrested for the crime.



I do not know if the parents are involved in this little girl's disappearance. It does not look good that they left Portugal after vowing to stay there until she was found. I understand wanting to give their other two children a normal life. I just wish they would have come to that conclusion before they were named as suspects by the Portguese police.



The blood found in the car does bother me. I hope they have conclusive DNA evidence of whose blood it is. Evidence can get tainted in a case. Remember the OJ Simpson trial? It does not matter where you stand on his guilt or innocence, you do have to wonder how a half of vial of blood goes missing in a high profile murder case. I am also wondering how Simpson is going to find the real murderers on a golf course. He must have found out that the murderers love golf. My point is something could be amiss with the evidence or the little girl was in that car at one point. That there may have a lot to do with how people feel about the parents at this point.



I love the deal the police in Portgual offered the mother. In the United States, no district attorney would have offered that deal and a cop would be facing criminal charges plus dismissal for offering that kind of deal for the murder of a child. They are trying to get the mother to admit to accidentally killing the child. I think that whole thing has been a ploy to get someone to admit to something. I do not think the deal is an offical one. After all the publicity this case has generated, there would be one big public outcry if the mother got off that easily.



I am sure we will see if the mother turns out to be a Susan Smith or a Ms. Ramsey. Time will tell.
