A friend of mine -Fred Sanders-Shot a Policeman who had forcably entered Fred's home-Fred was a Catholic grade school teacher and a nice guy -well, the POLICE beat him half to death and arrested him -this all started because a neighbor called and complained about Fred's dog barking too loudly -well the gestapo came and tried to intimidate Fred and Fred asked them if he was under arrest and so on -well one cop went ape sh#t and attacked Fred so Fred went back to his bedroom , got his 12 guage and blew the cop away-

2 years later the court ruled in favor of Mr. Sanders and awarded him 10 million dollars -the judge ruled that the jury were idiots and overturned the amount to $200,000.00-Fred had to go into the witness protection program .
Every word I've typed was told to me by Fred Sanders and you can look it up-So much for 'every man's home his castle' ...This occurred in 1992 or so because I met Fred in a lockdown psych ward -the policeman ,oddly enough , was a former football/baseball player for me at Ben Davis -I believe his name was Gibson -arrogant little steroid freak-
I was in the psych ward because after I cracked my C-5 vertabrae and lost everything I tried to die -Reagan had shut down all the hospitals so they put me in a lockdown ward with murderer's,rapists, psycopaths etc.
As an aside one guy who was my 'Bunkie' was Joseph Gardener , an individual who God told to kill his father and eat his brains , so he did -joe told me who was he to argue with God ?
I swear on penalty of death everything I've written is true -most of it should be in the public domain-

Good thing "god" didn't talk to him while you were his bunkie.

If you want lower supplies and thus higher prices, the WPT is a great way of getting there.

"too many politician's palms have been lubed by the big oil companies."

Now you don't really think it's their palms that are being lubed, do you???

I am curious. Exactly what does it tell you? From my reading of Scott's post, I would have thought that he was agreeing with you. My interpretation of Scott's statement is: Although I would really like to see the oil company punished severely for their negligence in damaging the ecology of the Alaskan coastline (with, perhaps, a bit of bitterness toward the unbelievable profits the major oil companies have fallen into in recent times, maybe just a little "screw big business in general", and a touch of "how is this going to effect the fishermen, residents, reconstruction efforts, etc.") I recognise that the court must act according to their interpretation of the law.
Is that, in fact, greatly different than your "If we allow emotion into the decisons, how can we besure (sic) of the just and equal application of the law?"
My reading of your post, and Scott's post, in my opinion, differs mostly in someone looking for an arguement, rather than furthering discussion.
On a totally different point, your comment on "Ruling on law alone, without emotion or perceived fairness, protects us all from unjust prosecution." makes me think you need to review Tennyson's Idylls of the King to refresh yourself on the relationship between justice, mercy, and the law.

Mr. Payton, your story is fascinating. Where did this take place?

Urmmmm, Scott? Perhaps a bit presumptuous of me. Is that, maybe, a little of what you were saying?

Indianapolis , Indiana -Fred was a good friend of mine-i was forced to leave the lockdown ward 'cause Marion County jail -ranked the worst jail in the nation -was at 300% capacity and the only hospital was Logansport and there was a 2 year waiting list so they dumped me in the State Farm correctional facility -an incredible learning oppurtunity for me --I learned how to make a shank out of a bed spring -learned how to run about a zillion scams and learned absolutely no one cares about you when you are locked up-you are meat -nothing else .
Joe Gardener is now at 'the SHOE' a permanent lockdown facility -23 hours a day in a cell
The most important thing i learned is it is almost possible to die from boredom and horniness .

Tim Donaghy must be involved somehow because the ball always seems to bounce oil's way.

Unh! Bourbon in the keyboard again!
