There are 2 executions scheduled for today. In Texas, one of the men convicted of dragging James Byrd to death will die. In Georgia, Troy Davis, convicted of killing a cop, is also scheduled to die, even though 7 of the 9 witnesses who fingered him have recanted. So do you think that Mr. Davis’ the execution should be at least delayed while the facts are analyzed. It won’t hurt anything. If he’s guilty, he’ll be executed. If the evidence is reanalyzed and found wanting, he’ll be a free man. That is the problem with the death penalty, you don’t have %100 proof in all cases.

10 Years Later….
It’s been 10 years since that day that changed the US. Do you remember where you were? How you felt? If you were like most of us, you probably were totally shocked and in a fog for days. Then you were both sad and outraged. It was good to see at least for a while the country come together, especially after the 2000 Presidential election. We were no longer Democrats or Republicans, Christians, Jews, or other religions, we were Americans. We wanted to get the man who ordered the attacks, not knowing that it would take 10 years, lots of lives lost, and 2 wars that are still going on. We tried to believe that not all Muslims agreed with the extremists. Then after a while, the novelty went away. Political divisions are back, those who opposed expanding the war were called unpatriotic (it should be considered unpatriotic not to voice opposition if done calmly), all Muslims are being painted with the same brush as the terrorists, and we seem to be more divided then ever. Hopefully, someday, we will have some sort of unity in this country.

Note
Please bear with us if the next few shows don’t sound very good. Billy’s Desktop computer broke down, and the sound on his laptop isn’t as good. However, the show must go on…..

Common Sense? From Billy
Watching a trial on Tru TV dealing with an 8 year old who was allowed to shoot an uzi at a gun show, something went wrong, and the kid ended up shooting the back of his head off. Would you allow your 8 year old to shoot an automatic weapon? Maybe a single shot .22 or something, but not an uzi or any other automatic weapon! The put up too much recoil that a kid that small just doesn’t have the strength to handle. Just letting you know, despite my views, this is NOT an anti gun post. My Dad is a hunter and has several guns. I have no problem with responsible gun ownership!
