Children, just an annoyance.

I find it overwhelmingly annoying having to tug three children around all the time. I mean, after all- I too have a life, and just why on earth should my life be interrupted by the needs of three little heathens, always needing feed, clothed, taken care of. I mean, really... just how am I suppose to do what I want, when they are just so bothersome? And lets not even go into the fact that they are hampering my relationship with my boyfriend.

Perhaps not word for word what Amanda Hamm thought, but I'm betting it's close enough to count.

December 2006, I wrote a post about Amanda Hamm, her willful neglect of her children and her willing participation in their murder- all because she felt they were an inconvenience to her lifestyle. At that time, she was sentenced to 10 years in prison in Illinois, because the judge found her to be just about half guilty of the drowning deaths of her three children- 6-year-old Christopher Hamm, 3-year-old Austin Brown and 23-month-old Kyleigh Hamm. I firmly believed that 10 years was not enough to serve as justice for the lives that were stolen, 10 years was not long enough to be considered punishment for a woman who would put her children into a car and allow that car to sink into a lake- taking with it the last moments of the lives of those children. And, to this day I still believe that ten years is nothing short of a slap in the face to the victims, putting a price of just three years and four months as the value of each life the child could be living today.

And then, today I read a disturbing article about Hamm, and about just what the real value of those children's lives are according to the state of Ill. Amanda Hamm was released from prison, not even having served a full two years. 21 months total time since she was found guilty, which breaks down to just around 7 months per child. This disgrace on humanity actually spent more time pregnant with each of these children than she did serving time for their murders. Oh, but wait. It's actually worse than that. You see, she was found guilty 21 months ago- but didn't start serving her sentence until 14 months ago... so that's about 4, almost 5 months per murdered child. Is this really what they consider justice in Illinois?

He loves me, he loves me not, oh what the heck he loves me...

It seems to resemble a bit of a 3rd grade crush. Mag said first grade ... but it's really less annoying that having my ponytail pulled. He loves me... after all, he keeps linking to me . He loves me not... evidently that's why he uses my comments out of context and twists my words... he loves me, because clearly he likes to "poke the bear" (That 70's Show quote). Yes, I just referred to myself as a bear. A lot less hairy, but no less scary. Because anyone that thinks you should be locked up for the rest of your life is indeed scary. Especially when she likes to go around telling everyone how demented you are... and how she'd like to see you locked up forever. And even more scary when you know that it's the truth she speaks. And Lindsay, he is demented. And he should be locked up forever. And, well it seems that he is a fan of mine. Yep, that sick lil monkey can't help himself. He reads this here blog (which is a hint that you should share your thoughts...

Linsi E. Light

When it came on the news last night, there was very little information. Even today, although there is more coming out- there still is a rather chilling "quietness" in the details of the case. You must understand, my home town is rather small. Murders front page news. So when the second murder of the year was shuffled into the mid section of the paper this morning, without so much as a name for the victim, it seemed- well it seemed odd. It wasn't until this evening that one (out of two) local TV news stations picked it up enough for it to hit their website. What I have been able to compile so far, is that at some time last night, Lima Police received a call about a gun being shot. They arrived at 1212 Bellefontaine Ave, on the east side of Lima to find a 19 year old OSU student dead. The young woman would be identified as Linsi E. Light, a first year OSU Lima student from Montpelier Ohio , a small Ohio town with just over 4,000 residents. She apparently had been shot in th...
