Letter to the Editor

Did court goof?

Tuesday, March 7, 2006

Dear Editor,

Were their decisions on right to life, flag burning, ownership of property erroneous? (The) ruling on (the) Ten Commandments (was) a flawed precedent. We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Jails were never biblical punishment. Next to the death penalty, they should be a last resort. Pre-trial jailing is a violation of the premise innocent until proven guilty. Jailing the nonviolent will often do more harm to society than the actions of the accused. Depriving them of lost earnings and stressing their business and personal affairs is an excessive fine (cruel) and unusual punishment to them and the taxpayers forced to pay for their keep.

Kids would be better playing in old cars than doing drugs! Acres of junk look better than the horrible hair doos, goo-paint grease tattoos and body piercings of the camouflage saloons.

Forget seatbelts ... having designating drinking areas would save more lives!

"Doth our law judge any man before it hear him, and know what he doeth?" John 7:51
