Truth AND Consequences

                                                                              COMEUPPANCES
Truth AND Consequences


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.

As 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.

A guy could make a buck as coroner.

Rodger,
At 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?

It 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.

What amazed me was that over a 20 year period he hanged, what? 650 people?
