He killed his wife and another man, not to say he isn't dangerous and should pay for his crime but he most likely isn't going to kill you if you don't mess with him. I would feel more in danger of a violent sex offender who got off (so to speak) on a technicality than this guy. If they let him out you probably will never see him again, he'd be headed out of the country I am sure. They really should have done a better job on this case.

Parents these kids or punks weren't born this way, they were made either by their environment, influenced by someone, t.v. or video games, or drugs. Idle hands are the devils playground. If we want to stop this behavior we need to attend to our young, give them attention and be good parents who teach them to do go productive things, not leave them alone to get into trouble like this because we are too busy. If you don't have time for kids don't have them. The number one reason kids join gangs is because it is a family to them as sick as it is, it becomes what gets them the attention they crave. This is societies problem, broken homes, single parents (not all there are some great single parents out there) and a lost generation that is left to sit at home and play video games or look at what ever they want on the computer and get into things like this.

Who cares about the presidential election, really doesn't matter who you vote for. Bill Gates will soon rule the world.

I guess I am extremely confused. The health care plan the churches are objecting to does not force anyone to use contraceptives just gives them coverage if they want it right? So how is that not controlling the lives of the people who may want their contraceptives paid for in a health care plan? Either way aren't making a choice for someone that you really have no business making? I personally think the choice should be there and it should be paid for.

So just because he can't vote means he can't write something? Are you so afraid of influence, I mean one can only be influenced if they let themselves be. Just because he is a felon doesn't mean he doesn't have an opinion.

Who is to honestly say who is ill-informed on this subject. I would never tell a parent what to do with their child, or call them ill-informed because of a choice they made that they thought was in the child's best interest. Most parents make mistakes and make choices that could go either way and vaccines are one of those choices. You can't say with any certainty that a choice to vaccinate would not turn out bad for that parent as much as you could say it would turn out good. If you were truly concerned about the child the parents choice would neither be here nor there you would just treat the child if they indeed were to become sick and have support for the family and recovery of the child not blame the parent.

I am extremely perplexed by the over abundance of media toward "whooping cough." Apparently "whooping cough" kills babies and yes it has sadly claimed the lives of some babies even within our state, but not this year. They are making it sound that "whooping cough" is the number one killer of babies right now when none have died from it. There are other diseases that kill more babies than none.

The Centers for Disease Control estimates that no more than 20 people a year die from pertussis in the U.S.
and this is not stating whether there are babies included or not.

Each year severe RSV disease can lead to approx. 400 deaths in infants, and casues up to 125,000 infant hospitalizations.
RSV is the leading cause of hospitalization of infants less than one year of age. http://pressroom.medimmune.com/wp-content/uploads...

What I do not understand is why is "whooping cough" getting all of the attention when there are more babies dying of RSV?

The vaccine seems to not be working either. Why in this day and age with the scientific and medical technology would this vaccine take 5 shots for a complete immunization?
2, 4, 6, and 15–18 months of age. A fifth shot, or booster dose, is recommended between age 4 and 6 years, unless the fourth dose was given late (after the fourth birthday).

And then again they say it wears off around 11 yrs of age and adults should get a booster as well? It just seems weird to me. People are getting "whooping cough" despite being vaccinated for it. Why don't they just have a vaccine exclusively for "whooping cough" if this epidemic is that bad ? At this point people should be asking questions on the efficiency of this vaccine.

There are a lot of things that young babies can get that can make them seriously ill and possibly kill them. As parents we need to make sure the people surrounding them and ourselves are healthy and clean. We need not expose them to questionable places such as supermarkets and populated public places too early. People should not touch babies and make sure they are not sick when coming in contact with young infants. If everyone did that the spread of disease would drop considerably.

I don't know why you negative feedback, there must be a lot of people hooked on porn. I am definitely not a prude but think that porn is very destructive to society. Sex is sex and it will always be that, but porn even with willing participants objectifies woman and degrades them in my opinion. Some people are really into it though.

400.00 is pretty low for property taxes I must admit. However sometimes there are instances where the property taxes are incorrect. Right now I am having to fight a valuation of my home that is completely inflated and is making it really tough for us financially, they make you pay it though even while appealing the value so if we couldn't pay it, we'd apparently be out of luck. I will tell you these counties are really scraping for money and they are trying to get it any way they can. If you don't watch out for yourself they'll take advantage of you.

Normal people make mistakes, yes but not mistakes like this.
