Actually, Lee Malvo was not a young child; he barely made it under the 18 yr old mark. Of course he was influenced but he was definitely old enough to understand the horridness of this.<br /><br />Candy, thank you so much for understanding what I am talking about. I copied this and posted it over at Constant Reader where a debate, tho a genial one, developed on the moral issue of the death penalty. My point was the inner dilemma, how I realized my belief system changed as soon as it hit close to home. INW, I want to be anti dp, I declare myself as being anti dp but as it turned out, in the depth of my soul, I actually was not. am I dismayed now, so many years after the fact, that he was executed? No. Well, maybe a little regret that any of it happened, but that's all. And that is what makes me despair.<br /><br />Do you really suppose my struggle is a blessing? very interesting and possibly true because the honesty to myself, that is the root of this, will, in fact, allow me to grow. Self discovery is always a blessing, I suppose.Beejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12613166306376742575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164482611955782819.post-81564213571323966492009-11-12T05:21:41.238-06:002009-11-12T05:21:41.238-06:00Not an easy topic. And I don't believe we are ...Not an easy topic. And I don't believe we are written in stone. I can imagine that it must feel painful to feel an innocence is lost and what you once believed to be one thing you feel differently about today. I don't think it's a topic anyone can easily feel ease with...it's a lifelong challenge.<br /><br />My feeling is that either one has faith in life, or karma or god...serindipity...fate? I don't know...but for the sake of my comment either one has an approach to life to let karma or god work things out...or one has a choice to not allow karma or god to work things out.<br /><br />I am of the camp that I feel I need to let karma or god take care of these things. I believe it's dangerous to our soul to practice capital punishment...that is "god's work" not for us humans. I don't want that kind of power.<br /><br />More amazingly...I can't believe you were still in Virginia only seven years ago. I know this is changing the topic...but hasn't a lot happened in life in those last seven years? It's like it's flown past...I feel like I emember very post you've made in the past few years and so many details of your life. Could it really only be 7 years ago?<br /><br />The D.C sniper was a terrible event, and that poor kid he ruined his life too. It's not a story from life that anyone can reconcile or reconcile lightly...I don't think we should. I believe the struggle you are feeling is a blessing, I really do. It means you are close to the source of life. I hope you feel some peace today, Beej. I'm thinking of you.Candy Minxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350752657678863378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164482611955782819.post-39420858746170538652009-11-11T16:32:48.050-06:002009-11-11T16:32:48.050-06:00I remember this about two years ago or so now righ...I remember this about two years ago or so now right?? I could be wrong. Time seems to be flying by on me for some reason. But I remember this happening over there. Its sad that he got that young child/man to do this for him.Bad acts to teach children. <br /><br />I read this yessterday and didnt have time to comment. I have loads on my mind with this and the damned war we are in.. I just wish our troops could come home.. My brother in law is in the Airfoce and I am thankful that he isnt over in Iraqu. He is still on base as a MP (Military Police). Sorry for specifying.. Most people know what that means.. LOL.. Anyway hope you slept well and didnt dream..

Then I went inside to the announcement that he had died at 9:11. How ironic is that.Beejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12613166306376742575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164482611955782819.post-84536306169557083882009-11-10T16:37:02.309-06:002009-11-10T16:37:02.309-06:00'The evil that men do' eh?
