Sept 11th

I'm asking every single one of my readers to go back in time, to the day America lost 2996 loved ones. You recall it don't you? It seems no matter where any of us might have been on that day, Sept. 11th, we felt the fear, the sadness and the horror that was happening to those in New York. There is nothing that will ever make the images that we saw, whether we were standing in front of our televisions watching it unfold, or if we ran from the shadows of the buildings that were collapsing- the images will continue to haunt us forever.
Right now is your chance to stand up and 2996 people lost their lives, and now we are in need of 2996 people willing to take the time to remember those we lost, and join in the Tribute to the hero's of 9-11 blogging event.
This is how it works, you sign up here... and a name will be sent to you. You then have until the anniversary to work on a tribute to them. Those with blogs are asked to post it as part of what I imagine to be one of the biggest blog bursts, and certainly the most important. If you do not have a blog, you still may participate. All that is required is that you find a willing blogger who will publish your post for you. For those reading this- I'm willing if you are interested.
Now, I have signed up of course, and have been given the honor of writing about Digna Alexandra Rivera Costanza. So, for those of you that happen to pop in here on a search and find this post, please come back and visit- even if it's only to see the tribute, and find the links to others who are participating in this event.

Florida Sex Offender Registry

Reading the news today, I was taken back to see that the Florida Sex Offender registry was being criticized. Having had the chance to look at it previously, I had always found it rather informative, and well organized. The issue that many are having with it now wouldn't be noticed by the occasional browser on the site. Which makes it even worse. A review of the FSR has found some rather unsettling statistics: The News-Press analyzed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement database of 36,306 sex offenders and found: • 9,205 of them are incarcerated • 7,037 have run away or can't be found • 824 have been deported; and • 516 are dead. Of the 15,573 sex offenders listed as released and not on parole or probation, only 11,355 of those actually live in Florida. Sex offender registries can only be usefully, and only fully do what they where designed to do when they are updated, maintained and monitored continuously. When you are relying on the SO registries to monitors how safe your...

This land is my land, this land is not your land...

I was reading the illegal immigrant news this morning... you know, all about the Spanish National anthem... and all about their big rally May 2... and I started thinking. Perhaps, just perhaps we need to stand up. It may be a really good time to remind everyone who's country this is. 12 million illegals... heh, I think we can beat that. The rough estimate is that the US has a population of 298,000,000, or close too it. Take away the estimated 12 million illegals, and we still have 286,000,000 give or take some. So, basically, if one were to be honest- a boycott by legal citizens would be more impressive. 12 million illegals, who can not legally vote verses 286 million citizens who can minus children and some criminals. My country. Not theirs. My taxes, my jobs, my political leaders. 286 million people should be able to remind law makers just who put them in office. 286 million people should be able to remind companies who buys their products. 286 million people should be able to si...

Lost Little Girl

It has been 11 years... dare I say hello to old friends?   There's a new crime, a new missing person, a new murdered woman, a new victim. Nothing has changed. All these years and still - its all the same.   Gabby Petito   She's just one of countless pretty white blonde girls that the main stream media has paraded in front of us, capturing our attention as they lay out the plot that will play across our TVs and phone screens as we wait... first for clues as to where she could be, then for the news she was found, we wait for the reports that it was a homicide, detais on her last encounters... we want to know the cause of death. More than that we want to know where her #vanlife sharing and who most of the world believes was her killer, boyfriend Brian Christopher Laundrie is.   How do they pick which missing person will make the best headlines? How do they determine that Gabby will bring more views than Mary Johnson ? or Dulce Maria Alavez ? Why not ...
