Re: Mennonite investigator jailed
I've never heard of the profession of being a defense investigator. Is it something done by an attorney?

Re: Mennonite investigator jailed
Interestingly, since the reinstatement of the death penalty in 1977, Colorado has only executed one individual - Gary Lee Davis in 1997.

I was about to add the story, but you beat me to it. :P Here's the Denver Post story: https://www.denverpost.com/2018/02/27/investigator-jailed-robert-ray-death-penalty-hearing/ While Lindecrantz is spending her second night in jail, the legal drama has been playing since Jan. 20, when Newman first ...

Re: Billy Graham dies
Twitter being Twitter and the Internet being the Internet, there have been some really nasty things written about Billy Graham. Slate columnist Ruth Graham (no relation) reflects on this: https://slate.com/human-interest/2018/02/billy-graham-has-hovered-over-me-my-whole-life-and-not-just-because-i-s...

Re: Arkansas law mandating "In God We Trust" in every classroom
Here we have been getting ultra-con propoganda in the mail and in our government. As a liberal in a conservative area, I resonate with this.

Neither set of my conservative Mennonite grandparents were physically affectionate in public or to their children. I remember I once impulsively told my grandparents that I loved them.

What I do see they had in common is an overriding ideological impera...
