Guess Who's Coming To Dinner?

"Not too bad Lynette, how about you?"

"I'm just happy to have my freedom finally. It is so nice to walk outside and go anywhere I want. Do you know what I mean Sarah?"

"Sure Lynette, I've been out for a year now and it feels good up to a point."

"What do you mean up to a point, Sarah?"

"Lynette, we are such losers. Look at Oswald, look at Booth and Sirhan and Ray, they were assassins and what are we? We're just a couple of losers who couldn't even shoot a President. Freedom's cool, but walk around for a year and you'll still feel the same...the same old loser. Shoot look at you, you couldn't even a chamber the bullet correctly. Heck, I tried to shoot the President and shot a taxi driver. We will always just be a couple of losers."

"Sarah, maybe you're a loser, but not me, I slept with Charlie Manson."

Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme got out of prison today, August 14th 2009. She tried to kill President Ford in 1975 and now she is out of prison. Sarah Jane Moore, who tried the same thing just 17 days later, was released from prison last year. I just made up the conversation between the two. Seriously, wouldn't you like to hear the real conversation between Sarah and Squeaky? It will take place sometime; it has to because one of these klutzes will get curious and call the other one...sometime.

I've got some mixed feelings about capital punishment, but I'm positive that these two should not be set free. In my mind, if you try to murder someone, you should never be let out of prison. I don't care if you have completed your Bachelor's, Master's and Doctorate Degrees and have become an ordained minister while you are incarcerated, if you have attempted to kill someone, you should stay incarcerated until you expire.

My feeling is this....Hey, they did it once...they attempted to murder someone...how can you convince me that they won't do it again? You can't...these people now have a history of violence and have used up their attempted murder quota. That's my law and it should be the law of the land. If you attempt to murder someone, you don't get three strikes, you just lined out to the pitcher and you are out.

Whether you are successful in your murder attempt or not, you have just bought a one way ticket to Prisonville with no parole. I'm not sure why this is not the law of the land. Why do we give people another chance to kill more people? I'm sorry if you have a brother, sister or some other close relative in jail for murder or attempted murder and you think with your crying liberal heart that they deserve a second chance...you are wrong, they don't deserve a second chance. One chance folks, that's it...in the land of Ol' Simmons, that's all you get. If you try to kill someone and get caught, just say, ok, I know, I'm out of the game for good...lock the door and throw away the key, see ya.

Too bad we're not living in Ol' Simmons Land, or too bad the good Ol' US of A can't get it right and keep these people behind bars where they belong.

I'm afraid that it won't be long before Sarah and Squeaky will be getting a call from John Hinckley. "Hey girls, how about dinner tonight? Sarah, I'd like to talk to you about that taxi driver you shot."
