Third page now added. Having never experienced having a loved one murdered (thank God) I can't say for certain, but I believe that a sincere apology does count for something as does an explanation. I do not personally think that killing is ever justified even in the case of paedophiles, but knowing there was a reason for your actions might help Mr Harmacek's loved ones make sense of what happened. -Just my thoughts, Goldfish
:( I feel bad about saying this but you'll only get to see two of your "beautiful" children. You're dead to your first two children, and your third will have no right to see you. Also, mama plans to "kick you while you're down". So the second you're out you're going have her demanding bunches of money. I told her it was wrong but I'm just a blinded stupid kid who needs to shut her trap. I'll be dead by the time I'm 18 so i can't see you then unless I run away again. You shouldn't think so highly of your children. If it comforts you, Shy is a very beautiful little one :) connor is a great foot ball player and gamer. Michaila still has her drama but her grades are slowly improving. For your last kid, idk about him. For me, I'm having twice my share of crappy step dad and blind mother. Therefor I'm a very smart trouble child. I don't even live with mom anymore :(
Thanks for posting about the Prison Legal News article about prison gerrymandering. I work at the Prison Policy Initiative with Peter Wagner, who wrote that article, and I'm really glad that it caught your eye.
I absolutely agree with you all states should follow the lead of Maine and Vermont by allowing incarcerated people to vote absentee in their home districts. In the meantime, though, counting incarcerated people at home for redistricting purposes keeps districts with prisons from having a disproportionate influence in the legislative process.
The reason we advocate for incarcerated people to be counted in their home communities, rather than in the communities that house prisons, is because generally their concerns and interests are best represented by the elected officials who represent their families and friends.
Counting incarcerated people in districts that contain prisons, on the other hand, encourages harsh criminal justice policy that keeps more people locked up for longer amounts of time. That's because politicians with prisons in their districts have perverse incentives to pass punitive and counterproductive criminal justice laws to ensure that their prisons stay full with incarcerated "constituents."
Thanks again for your interest in this issue.

Thanks for letting us know about the error, and our apologies to Nathaniel. We've added the third page to fix it. We read the nightly comment feed which is how we happened upon it but in the future, feel free to use the "flag" icon at the top of the page to call our attention to it directly. Again, many thanks!
Just one more thing: You know what was what convinced me most that Christianity may be right with its teachings?
It was the scene at the crucifixion where Jesus said "forgive them, they don´t know what they´re doing". I mean, NO normal individual would have said such a thing, he? You see yourself what they´re often saying: An eye for an eye and so on. They want revenge. And you often want it too. Can´t imagine you praying that way for Warden Reddish or so. Let alone if you had been nailed to the cross and were dying slowly and cruelly. That´s not human, that´s divine. At least, that´s my opinion. That´s what I mean saying, for me, the spirit of the gospel says much more than possible slight contradictions with dates and so on.
You know, Ronnie, you have to keep in mind that it took some decades after Jesus´ death and resurrection until the gospel was written down. Before that, people only told their children and others about what had happened. Maybe you can imagine when Mark, Matthew, Luke and John asked people what they remembered, that they said "Jesus said he would build up the temple again in three days or on the third day or so". I think it´s very likely that they didn´t know the exact literal quotations anymore - or one remembered it correctly, the other one a little different. That´s probably why some scenes are slightly different - for example with the two criminals executed with Jesus: One gospel said they both mocked at him, one says one of the two showed remorse and asked Jesus for mercy. I suppose some people told the others "I only heard them mocking at Jesus too" - and others had heard the remorseful criminal whom the first ones didn´t pay any attention for.
That´s what I mean when I wrote to you I supposed you had been taught a typical Bible belt faith: Taking everything literal and as a kind of scientific....If there stands the world has been created in 6 days then that´s exactly what happened and as there were no dinosaurs mentioned, then there were no dinosaurs, and either you believe that completely or you say, "can´t be true at all" and make your "q.e.d" below it.
I have a more spiritual access to my faith. I´m keeping in mind how the gospels were written down, and for me, the most important is the spirit that radiates from the Bible. For me, the question is, can that be true, and my answer is yes. If there seem to be contradictions, they are probably caused by human mistakes in "delivering" everything to the next generations until it was written down.
(And as for the contradicition between the creationists and Darwin...I do believe in Darwin´s theory but I don´t believe it was all only by chance. Somewhere the bible says for God one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years like one day...so that´s my explanation for the "six days"....and don´t take that literal again: Six times a thousand years means six thousand years..... The bible uses a lot of symbolic speech. When Jesus said we should forgive seven times seventy times, I don´t believe he meant you should make a notch into your bedpost every time you forgive and if your 490 are full, you don´t have to forgive anymore - but that quotation means "endlessly often - always". I hope you understand what I mean with the obvious difference in our understandings of the bible and faith. ;-) )
Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. Yes, this information is correct. There are, in fact, several petitions on change.org supporting the Barber amendment. This one has about a third of the signatures it needs so far. I've added my name.
Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. I hope the lockdown doesn't last much longer and you get a break from peanut butter and jelly on bread. (What if you have a nut allergy?)
Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post.
I feel that I can really understand what you wrote about. It touched something inside of me because I know what that kind of endless loneliness can feel like.
I wonder if you're reading any good books at the moment which might give you with some of that excitement you're looking for?
