hi everyone
it is a beautiful day here, hope you are hanging in there.

I am trying to contain my disgust with the local headlines these days. For example, I feel that "Morva gets death" is a misleading, and sensationalist, headline.

this is an inaccurate and lurid way to let the public know that a Montgomery County, Virginia governing body just handed down, with the help of nine citizens, an execution order to punish Will Morva for his crimes.

this is a very, very different thing than "getting" death. for example, now that this judgment has been handed down, an automatic appeal process has begun.

people really need to be more considerate of the people that care about Will Morva's future, like his momma, and his editors, and his wranglers and so forth. putting your name on a headline like the one I just mentioned is a good way to never find out what it's like to enjoy Thanksgiving 2.0 in the Traces library on Will Morva's dime.

bye, thanks for reading, have a beautiful day. -Suzy

hi everyone
hope you all are doing well

things here are OK, I assume; I do not know of any landslides, floods, avalanches, or executions in progress, although I am extremely concerned about the possibility that W. Morva might be executed as a result of his actions during his attempt to escape custody and reach the forests of Katuah. this, as I understand it, was his goal on the day he entered the Montgomery County, Virginia hospital for treatment.

words cannot express how much sorrow I feel about all the lives that have been lost recently in the shadow of Brush sama. but so-called "capital punishment" (I consider this phrase to be a euphemism for execution) in the case of W. Morva will do nothing to bring back these souls to the realm of the living. so to me, headlines that speculate about whether or not Will is going to get the "death penalty" strike me as a sickening wake-up call as to our culture's general numbness to murder.

killing prisoners to punish them greatly is a terrible idea. and giving any representative of the Imprisonment Industry the idea that you think it is OK merely increases the state's ability to extend its influence and frighten the public. so why encourage, or permit it at all?

just a few thoughts for this 03-14. hope you are having a beautiful day. -Suzy

ps. the Black Twig Pickers are playing for St. Patrick's day at the Cellar.

hi everyone
hope you are having a nice day

did you find any Snaque Shaque infrastructure yet? if so, or if not, don't worry. locomotion of the Snaque Shaque may take a while today, and since the Birthday Person being honored today is an avowed Birthday Hater there is really no rush. so, you still have time to pick out something nice to contribute to the infrastructure. if you encounter some Snaques bound for Ayuwa'sishima before your gift arrives just make out a quick coupon and put it in with the rest of the loot.

bye, namaste, thanks for reading. -Suzy
