Full circle.

So I caught some flack for being a loser and not even being able to keep up with a measly blog. How do I even have friends left? I certainly can't seem to ever answer my phone. Point is, here I am, forgiven?

We've all seen in the news recently the polygamy colony freakshow. I can't seem to get over the twistedness of it all. Mostly because of the children. Which brings me to another topic.. one which I truly had planned on blogging over. I watched this movie, Gone, baby gone. It's a well made movie, excellent, in fact...but if you do see it be prepared to be disturbed as I was. (And maybe read this after seeing it, the following will ruin it) The basic premis is that a child is missing and the family hires private investigators to assist the police and them in locating her. The mother turns out to be a drug runner and you are led to believe through the exchange with her kidnapper that she dies. As it turns out the police chief lost his child to murder and he has set up a ruse to steal the child. He asks the question "Isn't she better off here?" Well.... yes.... the mother was a piece 'o' shit. But, who is he, I or anyone else to decide what is, in fact best for a child? When does nature, where a child naturally wants it's mother, get trumped by what society deems is best for the child? Those who know me can probably guess why this is hitting close to home. Secondly, as a subplot, one of the kidnapping suspects is a pedophile. When another child goes missing and the PI fings him dead and raped in the house of the pedophile, he loses it and shoots the creep. (After vomiting.. it truly was an awful scene) Later at the hospital, where he is racked with guilt, one cop asks him would he do it again? He says no. As a catholic, he states it's a sin. True, murder is evil. But honestly, had I been in that situation, I feel like I would have done the same thing. And done it again. So when is wrong, truly WRONG? Maybe it was having a child that makes me insane over the now, but I get livid thinking about people who can hurt children. And it happens daily. I think I am starting to believe in capital punishment.

Especially for people like this:

Anyone ever heard of "safehouses"? I know so many people who want, and deserve children. Yet here they are childless while useless human beings are giving birth all over the place. I have been having some nightmares to rival all nighmares. Let it be said, if anyone ever hurts my boy... you will all be welcome at my murder trial.


Ps. I'd like to throw in a shoutout here to my brilliant friend Emily, who is an esteemed employee of this fine laboratory. Who just so happen to be doing some important work right now:
