Another entry .... another entry about the
ridiculousness of the world we live in....
So here is the story: This guy buys a scratch off lottery ticket in Boston and much to his delight wins 1 million dollars. The twist in this plot....he is a convicted bank robber on probation. The terms of his probation
explicitly state that he is not to gamble, buy lottery tickets or visit gambling facilities. The
article then goes on to say that the
government is not sure what they should do with him in terms of the money, etc. They think that they may have to take the money back.....
hmmmmWell this doesn't sound like rocket science to me....the dude violated his
parole sooooo not only should they take the money back he should probably go back to prison. Now don't whine and say
ohh all he did was buy a lottery ticket...
noooo he
deliberately violated his parole. So if we go against the law and make an
exception (which seems to be the norm around here these day) then
everyone who violates their parole will be able to use this as a
precedent as well. What about someone convicted of sexual
assault or crimes against children and they
knowingly violate their parole by living in neighborhoods close to schools...is that
ok too? The law is the law people. Get use to it and when you break it there should be enforced consequences! If you don't like living that way, well then my stanby advice is to move the hell somewhere else.
So dumb!
On a much much happier note...two of my nearest and dearest friends have recently become engaged! Congratulations to Pat and
Jano (no they are not marrying each other)! Two of the best people I have ever met and I wish them all the
happiness in the world.
Also a belated congrats to A and
Rox...who are also tying the knot next year....all of these weddings is enough to make my head spin!
So
Congratulations to one and all I hope you all have fantastic weddings and even better marriages!!!!
That's all for now....
