It appears that the LA County coroner and I are on the
same page, here, with his announcement in Whitney Houston's death...
Whitney Houston died from
an accidental drowning in a hotel bathtub,
but the "effects of atherosclerotic heart disease and cocaine use" were
contributing factors in her death
This could be fun! Here, let me try that:
Rummy McSotted died from the catastrophic
impact of
his head against the tree trunk. "effects of a .29% BAC and the empty
Jack Daniels bottle wedged behind the brake pedal" were listed as
contributing factors.
Okay, now it's y'all's turn! Go wild! [I
thought I would be a coroner... ]
These
people are so cute. What people? These people, "The Untouchables." People
above having their lifestyles and public nincompooperies exposed, and
put
to public ridicule. People who shrink from truth and
consequences. Verbi gratia —
What? Not chilling enough? How about this, "The
Algore Safe Harbor Act"
The Green Climate Fund, which is supposed
to help mobilize as much as $100 billion a year to lower global
greenhouse gases, is seeking a broad blanket of UN-style immunity that
would shield its operations from any kind of legal process, including
civil and criminal prosecution, in the countries where it operates.
Sigh, all this prompts me to recommend this
movie. For it's cathartic value.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the alert - the link is fixed.
ReplyDeleteAs a child, I was told that my maternal great grandfather had died of a heart attack... same story about my maternal grandmother who died when mom was twelve. After my mother's death, the family genealogy interested me. Turns out Great Grandpa was found under the railroad tressel on New Years Day. Grandma? Who knows. My best guess is she fell down the steps after talking back once too often.
ReplyDeleteA guy could make a buck as coroner.

Rodger,
ReplyDeleteAt your suggestion, I watched the film. Thank you! Excellent!
Timothy Spall was exemplary, as usual.
At the end of the film there is a quote attributed to Mr. Pierrepoint that after his experiences he believed that capital punishment was for naught but revenge.
While there may be some amount of revenge in it for the victims families and friends, I believe that it serves a necessary purpose for the community.
It allows the "group"/"tribe"/"community" to eliminate those individuals who, through THEIR OWN ACTIONS or INABILITY TO CONTROL THEIR PASSIONS, have proven that they are a threat to the "group"/"tribe"/"community" as whole.
To those with a Liberal bent who chant "Not in MY name...", I would point out that it is NOT done in their name. It is done in the protection of the group.
(Or, if it makes them feel better, consider that it's done on MY behalf. I'm happy to take the spiritual burden.)
What burden?
ReplyDeleteIt used to society executed murderers and child molesters to prevent them from doing it again. Which they will, mostly. Meaning when we turn murderers and child molesters loose after "paying their debt", we give them leave to go do it again. And again. What sane society thinks that's a good idea.

Roger THAT, Sir H!
ReplyDeleteWhat amazed me was that over a 20 year period he hanged, what? 650 people?
