INTELLIGENT DESIGN THEORY AJUDGED DUMB Common sense has finally overtaken the nonsensical attempts at merging science with mysticism. U.S. District Judge John Jones ruled yesterday that the Bush endorsed theory of "Intelligent Design" is nothing more than a religion-based concept, and has neither scientific value, nor a place in a public school's curriculum. It's about time that this ridiculous, never-ending attempt by the Right Wing, radical religious loonies to inject their brand of religious belief into the nation's public schools is dealt a deathblow. I know the fight isn't over yet. These ass-backward, self-appointed moralists will continue to waste public resources by reintroducing their agenda wherever possible. However, with a precedent such as this, at the Federal level, there's little chance that these relics of the 11th century will prevail. Here's the complete story by ABC News.

TODAY THE WORLD IS SLIGHTLY BETTER Murderer Tooki Williams is dead. Despite reams of bullshit in his defense, his well-deserved execution went off as scheduled minutes ago, and we should all rejoice. In order for the world to progress peaceably it is necessary to mete out appropriate justice. Those among us who consider themselves to be "religious," should be happy that "an eye for an eye," as their vaunted bible states is the way to go, has been practiced by eradicating this vicious creature. The amount of damage and suffering caused by Williams gang followers is incalculable. It's said that we would be better off if he was alive because his "good works" have deterred many kids from gang violence. Well, since his books have been published there have been more than 10,000 gang related killings, so I don't buy into it. It is said that the death penalty is not a deterrent to crime. Listen up, it's not intended to be a deterrent, it's intended to be a punishment for heinous crimes. Murderers kill without regard for one's political or social leanings, or religious affiliation, or the lack of one. Murderer's care not about a person's age, gender, race, or any other factor, murderer's kill for whatever reason they feel advances their agenda and without concern for anyone but themselves. Therefore they are everyone's enemy and should receive the same fate as their victims. Visit "The Independent Writer" and have a good laugh on Jim Ippolito Wednesday, December 07, 2005
WILL SWARZENNEGGER DROP THE HAMMER ON WILLIAMS? Stanley Tookie Williams founded the criminal infested L.A. street gang known as "The Crips," an acronym for "Community Revolution In Progress." Williams was found guilty of murdering 4 people in 1979 and is on death row awaiting execution on December 13th. While incarcerated, Williams has spoken out against gang violence, and written books decrying basically all the violent activities he and his gang-banger buddies previously espoused. In addition, while incarcerated, Williams has continued to practice his violent ways, by assaulting prison guards. Because of Williams' supposed rehabilitation, a few people, such as Bianca Jagger, whose claim to fame is being divorced from Mick Jagger, and 2nd rate actor, Mike Farrell, have called for clemency. California Governor, Arnold Swarzennegger, will soon conduct a private clemency hearing to determine the murderer's fate. Williams, who has had about 24 years worth of appeals, has been unable to prove his claimed innocence, and has enjoyed that many more years of living than his victims. I personally take umbrage just at the sight of this monster. Have you seen him recently? This son-of-a-bitch, who is 51-years-old, is he picture of health. He has an upper body befitting a 24-year-old NFL lineman and has obviously flourished at the expense of California taxpayers. He even has access to hair dye to further enhance his public image. At a time when so many Americans are without medical insurance, and a trip to the dentist can result in a second mortgage on your house, this miscreant has been pampered to the extent that he now enjoys celebrity status. The nonsense that he has, and will continue to do good works by dissuading others from gang related violence is not reason enough to grant him a reprieve from paying for his crimes. Granting him a reprieve is a slap in the face to the justice system and the victims of violent crime. All this will accomplish is serve as proof to other criminals, or would be criminals, that you can commit an atrocious act and basically get away with it. Williams, who is seen by some as being repentant, should now act like a man and take his well-deserved punishment. If he really wants to set an example he should quietly submit to the ultimate act of repentance. Those Liberals who are trying to keep this guy alive should spend their time helping true victims of society rather than those who make victims of society Visit "The Independent Writer" and have a good laugh on Jim Ippolito |
