Dadgummit, lost link to my blog. Googled it. Same name, not my blog, then googled some more. Found a record of a visit to a rather gross arabic porn site. Upon furthr checking I found another whole Opinion8ed and an opinion8ed. Confusing. Even for me.

Take care!

I started a TIME group here on NV. I'm working on the premise that "If you build it, they will come" . It's listed on my page, so far though, Steve and I are the only members.

DeadMenWalking... You belong here. I just shut down one myspace page in which I was doing the same thing you are. I took a lot of hits from one or more cyber stalkers for 2 years. Once they left, I could. Just couldn't let them beat me. Tried to open another page, wasn't the same after finding Newsvine. Welcome aboard. Perhaps we can start another group related to our interests. Broken Justice.

I'm not sure how you stumbled across my blog on MS but I am so very glad that you did and that you thought enough of it to seed it here. I'd never heard of Newsvine but am thrilled with it and loving it here. Nothing against MySpace but I find the articles and conversations here so much more mature and interesting.
So...I just wanted to say thanks for leading me over here :-)

TheJonesGirl, I agree. I posted a story, might not be legal, not sure about that. Anyway, it is an excerpt from a book about personnel behind bars. The book is Behind The Walls.

Loved your comments on Conservative in CA's thread about the shootings in Oakland. I too believe strongly that our prisons are the problem and that we need to focus them on reform, not punishment. Punishment doesn't work, our penal system is broken.

When a Federal Judge forces himself, sexually, on his subordinates is it different than rape? As in what those outside of or unrelated to law enforcement or the judiciary are charged with?
