General Comments November 2016

So, there is a new movie coming out called “The Edge of Seventeen”. It is rated “R” for sexual content, language and drinking – all involving teens. The main character is dating a much older guy. It has 7.1 stars on IMDB so it looks like the majority likes it and sees NOHTING wrong with teens and sexuality. Just wondering.

This story is so upsetting, this cop avoids jail and registration, yet i will have to register for the rest of all life for have four picture files of a sixteen year old. John Walsh can sleep with a sixteen year old and its Ok, but for the rest of us that make a mistake forget about it, its all over.

I would like some feedback,I have for the last 5 years been retired,my son is starting a business
doing computer repair ,network installations ect.He wants me to work with him,I would only repair computer problems.He will have an office space,I would work 3 days a week,taking in the repair
work,working the phone and repairing things.I just registered my yearly report,and put retired on the form,do I have to go back and do it again because of this job,or is it done on my next yearly.One time in the past
my car broke and had to be replaced,I went to redo the annual,with the new car,a detective came out and said,do this on your next annual you don’t have to do it now.I have been off probation for more than 30 years.

I haven’t talked to my family for about 4 years now. I have lost all my family and friends. I have only my son and fiancé in my life. I have been in my depression for about 10 years. Can’t imagine life happy when I have a sword always above my head. Know that I am close. Close to ending this torment that will always follow me, my son. I don’t leave my house. Keep to myself. No hope that this will stop. Every year the government comes to my home to remind me. That is 17+ visits. Feel like I’m being kicked, I get up only to get kicked and beat down again. Eventually, anyone will break.
I made a mistake 17 years ago. I went through a brain tumor 15 years ago. Had to learn to walk, talk and eat again. Went from wheelchair, to walker to cane. I am tired. Literally tired. Don’t have holidays anymore. Had surf and turf for thanksgiving. I don’t think we’ll have a Christmas tree this year. SSI doesn’t pay that much, so only my son will have a present this year. How sad is that.
I think the most depressing issue though, is that everyone talks about what should be done and criticizes that what is. I started a petition. Asked the moderator to post it promenantly so that it could be seen and we as a group could sign it. Even contacted W.A.R. So that it would be visible on their website. You know how many people have signed? 16. That’s it. 16. Shows me the real interest in abolishing this registry. We are just pawns in a political game that is directed at our heart, mind and souls destruction. Plain and simple. Congratulations America, you managed to be a copy of the third Reich. Can’t wait to see what Trump has up his sleeves.
After visiting this site every day, multiple times a day for a few years, I have come to the conclusion that it really doesn’t matter what you say or what Janice tries. This “registry” is so ingrained in our society, and now throughout the world, that it will never go away. It isn’t about “saving 1 child”, or anyone for that matter. Just money. From us to the entities that support this regime. All about the sawbuck.
I have come to the realization that people will criticize me, but let’s be honest, you can go to meetings, protest and voice your opinion, but it will fall on deaf ears. Ask yourself this…. with all the empirical evidence and facts that have been accumulated over the years, why have there not been any significant changes? Why have the entities that be have not done anything? All boils down to this, we are a commodity, just a number that has a dollar sign on it. This will never go away. We will always be pariahs. Outcasts. Like my father said, I want nothing to do with you or your offspring. Happy Holidays.

I’m checking in to see if the registry has been defeated yet.
I take it that’s a no.

Judge William H. Pryor Jr. of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit appears to be a top contender to fill Scalia’s seat. This is bad because, in addition to being staunchly socially conservative, he is also an outspoken supporter of judicial deference, the “deference” being to lawmakers’ horrible laws. They willingly overlook injustice because they don’t see correcting it as their job. This trend in our Supreme Court is why we have Smith v. Doe.

He argued for the state in Lawrence v. Texas, the anti-sodomy case. A few of his written gems:

“It should be noted, again, that the Texas statute in
question does not criminalize petitioners’ sexual
orientation, which may or may not be a matter of choice
and thus may arguably be protected from state
discrimination by the Equal Protection Clause of the
Fourteenth Amendment. Rather, the Texas antisodomy
statute criminalizes petitioners’ sexual activity,
which is indisputably a matter of choice. Petitioners’
protestations to the contrary notwithstanding, a
constitutional right that protects “the choice of one’s
partner” and “whether and how to connect sexually”
must logically extend to activities like prostitution,
adultery, necrophilia, bestiality, possession of child
pornography, and even incest and pedophilia (if the
child should credibly claim to be “willing”). For all intents
and purposes, petitioners seek to enshrine as the defining
tenet of modern constitutional
jurisprudence the sophomoric libertarian mantra from
the musical “Hair”: “be free, be whatever you are, do
whatever you want to do, just as long as you don’t hurt
anybody.”82 Bracketing for the moment the dubious
proposition that any human behavior is purely selfaffecting,
suffice it to say that so expansive and
undisciplined an interpretation of the Fourteenth
Amendment would constitute a radical departure from
the historical analysis that this Court has always
employed in its fundamental rights jurisprudence. It
would embrace the very principle rejected by this Court
in Roe v. Wade, that “one has an unlimited right to do
with one’s body as one pleases.”83 And it would ignore
this Court’s admonition in Glucksberg that the
Fourteenth Amendment does not protect “any and all
important, intimate, and personal decisions.”84
Contrary to the cliché so tritely tossed about in
freshman poli-sci courses, the States can and must
legislate morality.85 John Stuart Mill is not a founding
father. 86 “Every society in civilized time . . . has
traditionally concerned itself with the moral soundness
of its people.”87 The mark of a free society is not just
the right of the individual “to define [his or her] own
concept of existence . . . and of the mystery of human
life.”88 It is also the right of the individual to join with
other individuals and form communities that define
and order themselves according to shared beliefs.
Human beings are by their nature social creatures,
with concerns for the physical and moral welfare of
others besides themselves. And “in a democratic
society legislatures, not courts, are constituted to
respond to the will and consequently the moral values
of the people.”

…The States should not be
required to accept, as a matter of constitutional
doctrine, that homosexual activity is harmless and does
not expose both the individual and the public to
deleterious spiritual and physical consequences. Those
who object to traditional attitudes about homosexual conduct should take their case to the legislatures of the
States, where the views and experiences of all citizens
can be considered and shaped into a consensus policy.
When the text and history of the Constitution is silent
about the existence of a particular right, the legislature
is the proper place for recognition of the new right.
The courtroom is not. ”

Let’s hope that this bastard isn’t our new Justice.
