Comments on: What Is The Point? http://blog.jonolan.net/ethics-morality/what-is-the-point/ The eclectic ramblings of jonolan Sun, 12 Feb 2012 18:56:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Kelly Mahan Jaramillo http://blog.jonolan.net/ethics-morality/what-is-the-point/#comment-8428 Kelly Mahan Jaramillo Wed, 22 Oct 2008 22:51:41 +0000 http://blog.jonolan.net/?p=751#comment-8428 I have to say, the special treatment allowed to sports figures is obscene. Originally being from Los Angeles, in 2003 every news channel and every newspaper was all over the whole Kobe Bryant rape case. Despite the laws that have been in place for many years that changed the way a rape charge was handled - meaning that the victim was no longer the one put on trial, well, in the case of Kobe, those laws seemed to disappear. Kobe is the darling of the Lakers, and a young woman's life has taken a drastic downward turn. The whole matter is disgusting, as is this dogfighting charge being so lenient. I am of the Irish temper when it comes to animal cruelty like this - I daydream that whomever engages in this type of gaming needs to have a pack of wild, angry, very big dogs alone in the room with the person. Now THAT might rehabilitate the man. However, I have a question for you (naturally). If you are horrified by animal cruelty, how do you reconcile that with Sarah Palin's signing a bill in Alaska that would allow hunters to shoot wolves and other wildlife from low flying planes, causing prolonged agony before death? It is a rather brutal video, but I think you can handle it - in fact you have probably already seen it, but if not..... http://actionfund.defenders.org/site/Ecard?ecard_id=1981&s_newOptIn=t&JServSessionIdr001=jxg2hgq7n1.app26a Let me know if the link comes through, and I hope you know that I am asking in all sincerity - not looking to bust chops, just find myself curious and a bit puzzled. Kelly p.s. I do not know if you popped back over to mi casa, but you have been released from spam jail. My apologies - I will pay more attention to my spam filter.
