Let justice prevail (terry)
Daniel Cardenas emailed me today and asked me to create a new conference on the Spring.
This is it. Justice. It's all about crime, justice and the criminal justice system.
I'm Paul Terry Walhus, Austinite. I wish Daniel the best of luck in this conference and hope it prospers and we have some meaningful conversations about crime and punishment and the system of justice in the US and the world.
Thanks Daniel for starting this up!

it's all true
i was there
they were goin' over it in committee and everything
and i just happen to pull out from under my cardigan, a body part of
mine that i had handy
it was completely detached
it was one of those kind that i hear often get made into wallets
when they saw it, they basically all said in unison,
"HOLY jeezez,
let's not do this.
not such a good idea after all.
strike it from any further proceedings.
Gawud, we need a keg!
it's so friggin hot today!
Mildred, is that Chester out there wheelin' in the beer?
Well get the door!"

justice...
raise your hand if you think justice is a synonym for fairness??
nope. wrong. not in this country baby.
shall I vent about the inequality in sentencing, in due process, in appeallate courts. shall I go on about corruption (even though I have zero proof), apathy and assorted hodge-podge.
or shall I march my stomping, child-advocating feet over to 'vent at will' and do it there?

Good idea, Wer - no, not the moist and mean bit. The Child advocacy bit. I know nothing about it, but I know kids don't have it exactly fair in this world. It's because their fate lies in adult hands.

so we can all sit around and gripe about it or actually attempt to make a difference. No topic needed.

Actually children are just the tip of the iceburg. The system is set up to prey on the defenceless.

I've recently begun to analyze our system of justice. I found the bug in the code. It's at Line 1 of the Code of Justice. They forget Line 0. If they put in Line 0, the rest of it isn't needed.

Line #0 should be an entry into the Best Practices for Civility. The Civility Code. Uncommon common sense.

It is the least common commodity world wide and make a lie of the very name.

That is correct. Common sense is uncommon. Little by little science uncovers another element of common sense, proving how elusive it is.
