Congress Passes AIG Bill of Attainder, Clay County Tortures Dogs, Cited by USDA
On the list of things to be wildly indignant about, Clay County (Florida)'s dog torture experiment is number one this week.
I was merely ashamed of Congressman JOHN LUIGI MICA and other Congresmen for voting for an ex pos facto law (or bill of attainder) against AIG bonus recipients -- but what's the Constitution among friends? A Senator from Iowa (CHARLES GRASSLEY) even suggested "suicide" for the AIG executives. That's a sin in the Catholic Church and a crime most places. Congressman MICA and Senator GRASSLEY are both members of the party of greed that gave significant encouragement to AIG. These dumb and dumber Republicans are now seeking protective coloring and camouflage, like the Nazi spy in Stalig 17 (played by Peter Graves) who beat on the American played by William Holden extra-hard to prove himself a loyal American.
In contrast, I was horrified about Clay County, Florida government officials torturing of a dog for the purpose of trying to claim they didn't kill a dog left in a hot truck.
These are bad people in Clay County. They shouldn't be allowed to "control" or care for animals. They shouldn't be government employees.
They shouldn't be allowed to breathe the same air as you and I -- they need to see the inside of a state prison.
Too bad the corrupt judicial system places so little value on animals' lives.
During the early 1980s, I once covered an Anderson County, Tennessee Circuit Court hearing in which tatterdemalion debt collection lawyer Walt Fuller defended a Y-12 nuclear weapons plant engineer who killed a barking dog in a neibgbor's backyard, hitting it with an iron bar.
The City Court Judge, Luther Reed, rightly sentenced the man to ten (10) days in jail.
Anderson County Circuit Court Judge James Beveridge "Buddy" Scott, Jr. reduced the sentence to only 48 hours in jail.
The defense? National security.
In the crazy place called Oak Ridge, Tennessee, the engineer argued that his work at a nuclear bomb factory required a good night's rest.
The proper sentence should have been 11 months and 29 days in a county jail.
In our own community, the Humane Society shelter recently closed. Our City of St. Augustine gave up all animal control functions to St. Johns County several years ago.
As scholar Edwin Alvord Ross concluded in 1907, these are "criminaloid" personalities, who are "in a hurry" and will do anything to win.
