In one of the commercials Magic talks about his Dad working double shifts to give his family a better life. The same is true for most people today. Sadly there are pressures and temptations that even Mr. Johnson did not face. One is a company telling him, as society joins in the chorus, that they can provide “the good stuff your family deserves”. And who is pushing this? Someone they respect. Why, in one of the commercials Magic is even talking about respect as we see trophies and photos of his career roll by. Respect. Magic earned it and now he is using it to shill for the loan sharks.

Senator Kennedy, concern is not saying the right about a subject. Concern is doing the right thing. You say you believe “it is vital” the people of Massachusetts “have two voices” representing them in the Senate. Well, where has your concern been for part of 2008 and 9 months into 2009? Do they only deserve two Senators when it is politically convenient for you and your party? This is not leadership and, as a former constituent of yours, I am not surprised. A “full and fair trial” is not a trial where 7 of the 9 witnesses later recant their testimony. Isn’t the effect of these recanted testimonies, perhaps, the same as finding that DNA evidence that shows that the convicted person did not commit the crime? Do we pretend that because all of the i’s were dotted and the t’s were crossed during the trial that the trial was therefore “fair”? Apparently that is what Scalia advocates. I am not saying that this man is innocent or guilty. But when the case against him is built on the perjury of over 77% of the witnesses I think that a new trial would be the only fair course. Or am I missing something here? |
