I am too much a student of history to favor majority rule. There have been too many cases where the majority would have done the wrong thing. But I know what you mean anyway. Crime, especially against children, always brings forth strong emotions. Each case of an ex-convict should be judged individually. I personally think I should be allowed to possess a gun. I live in a large city where we have entirely too many home invasions, gang related drive by shootings, and I have a small child in my home. If I were to be home invaded there would be nothing I could do to defend us. I don't want to kill anyone. If I did it would be no problem for me to locate a gun to do it with, legal or otherwise. I know too many ex-convicts to ever have to worry about finding anything illegal to do !! I bet I could have an automatic weapon in my living room within 30 minutes if I so desired. But I am straight and clean because that's what I choose to be. And its the same with everyone. No one is upright because we have to be. We are so because we choose to be that way. By the way, I have a state senator interested in introducing a bill that would allow an ex-offender to obtain a gun after so many years of clean living. Probably won't ever get out of committee, but at least I am trying . It really worries me that I can't protect Kade in our home.

    3. No, Westerfield had no record. I was surprised at that. Jack says that the average molester is 45 (Westerfield was 49 when he was caught), but I'm thinking that being a molester and being caught as a molester are two different things. Who knows how long this sort of thing was going on. And the longer they're at it, the worse their odds of not getting caught. I figured he just went too far this time. But, so far, no one else has come forward as a victim, so... maybe his fantasies just got out of hand. I have noticed, however, that Westerfield's 2 kids have been conspicuously silent and out of sight. I've only heard one person speak in a positive way about him and it's a friend he hangs out with and has known for 25 years. And that made me wonder about that guy, too!

    3. Yeah, I figure you'd correct me on that felon stuff, Jack. <G> I know that their rights differ by states, (that's why I said "theoretically" they have no right) but it still seems like the public safety is the main issue here. I still think that if we put it to a vote, about whether their names and addresses should be posted on the internet, the voters would be in favor of it.

It varies from state to state. In some states convicts can even vote, while in prison. As an ex-convict I can pretty much do what I want when it comes to rights. I can vote, be a notary, get a license to operate a business. I cannot own a gun, cannot be a state representative or senator, but I can be the governor, figure that one out. I can be a prison guard, a jailer, a private investigator, as long as I don't carry a gun. There is still a law on the books in Oklahoma that says upon discharge the state is suppose to give me a horse, saddle and a rifle !! If I wanted to get a pardon then I would get all my rights back except for the right to carry a gun. But I don't want a pardon. I can do what I want without one.

    3. Really!!! They need some signs like that at the parks and around the school grounds, and other places, like the mall, where kids congregate. Well, as for the publication of the lists, as Jeff said, CA pulled theirs from the internet. Yes, we have too many lawyers here. I think it's stupid and the error in it is so obvious that I can't believe they pulled the list. Seems to me that they're a lot more likely to get sued by someone because they couldn't access the data easily and because of that were not aware of the pervert next door that hurt their kid. What a shame if that would happen.

    3. There was recently an interview on one of the news magazine shows of a convicted child molester. He will be getting out in the next few years - even if he is not paroled. He said - "I am afraid I will do this again. I don't know how to deal with the lust I feel for children. I should not be allowed back into society. " What can we do about this man, and others - they have served their time, but their problem is psychological - prison time does not abate their desire for sexual contact with children. If more people went to the local police department, with a list of people - a long list, and asked about all of them, eventually the list of offenders would be posted somewhere - police departments can not hire someone to just stand there and tell people if someone is a registered sex offender or not. Encourage your neighbors to call their local "Community Policing" department and see what they plan on doing to keep your community safe, or call the Chief of Police, or the Mayor, go to the elected official who appoints your police chief or sheriff and let them know this is important. This is why our county publishes the list quarterly in the paper. Because they got tired of listening to us - we ELECT our Sheriff, he did not want the bad publicity, so we get a published list in addition to the State run website.

    1. [BSChat] IT SURELY MUST BE NICE
    2. JACK CHILDERS
    3. Take a peek inside a million dollar home OKLAHOMA CITY, May 14 - It's a beautiful home hidden away in the middle of Nichols Hills. The setting is calming, peaceful and serene -- almost like you're in a quaint Mexican village. Once you enter these handcrafted iron gates, your journey into old world Mexico begins. The patio is Cantera stone. It's made in Mexico. It was all brought from Mexico, carved especially to go here. The fountain is four women. They look like they're down at the river washing clothes or doing some sort of chores. As you enter this 6900-square-foot Mexican mansion, you'll notice the arched doorways and windows. It gives a very peaceful, comfortable feeling. Curves are always more interesting and more comfortable than straight doorways. In the living room there is a fireplace with serpents holding up the mantle. "I've been collecting things from Mexico for probably about 20 years. The serpent heads were actually carved in Mexico," said Sally Harry, the home's owner. The kitchen has a lot of counter surface, all granite. The floor is wooden dowels surrounded by the Cantera stone. Now, on to the master bedroom, where there are two big double doors entering the master bedroom. There's metal inlay in the doors. "We weren't sure how we were going to use these when we bought them but it turned out that they made a great insert into the wooden doors," Harry said. The TV comes out of a piece of furniture at the foot of the bed. And, of course, it's turned on to Oklahoma's NewsChannel 4. When people walk into this bathroom they are just stunned. The master bathroom is a circular room surrounded by windows featuring a most unusual mermaid fountain in the center. She makes the most restful sound. She's very peaceful and quiet, it makes great sleeping you feel like you're at the beach or a mountain stream going by. The patio is off the living room. It's very quiet and peaceful and a very nice place to live. One more note: the marble floors in one of the bathrooms are heated.

    3. You all may remember the case I mentioned to the list last year about the dirty old man living down the street from us, the one who wanted Kade and another little girl to come into his house and help him search for his lost puppy (lost in his house no less !!), the one who took pictures of the young teenage girl doing housework for him in her bikini. Well, I reported him to the police, I guess just for general perverted looking behavior, since he hadn't done anything specific. Turns out his own family had reported him years ago for suspected molestion on one of his nieces . Nothing ever came of the investigation I started. I noticed the other day he is building a tree house in one of his trees. This is an old man, probably in his 60's. Now just what does he need with a tree house, except to lure young children onto his property !!! Several of his neighbors came to his defense over my allegations and tried to turn me into the bad guy, just a trouble maker. If he uses ! that playhouse to lure some children to his property and then does something to one of them, I wonder what they will think then ? Well, he doesn't have me fooled and I will definitely keep my eye on him. By the way, child molesters are fixated with children. That's why they don't change. Its rather like an addiction.

    3. I first heard of that no charge in 72 hours when a neighbor of mine here in OKC was arrested. He is a handy man, yard person. I think they originally pulled him over for suspicion of drunk driving, but that wouldn't have panned out because I don't think he drinks at all. But they put him in jail for 72 hours, impounded his truck, left the windows open and it rained all inside his truck. I was amazed they could put someone in jail for three days and then just turn them loose with no explanation, no apology, nothing, so I called an attorney and he educated me on the subject. And, I don't remember the exact date, but I really believe my neighbor was put in jail before 9-11. Jack Childers in OKC

    1. [BSChat] gender differences....
    2. Sue & Bobby Bates
    3. Once upon a time, back when I was younger and more naive (if possible), I had foolishly made the statement that if a person had a son and a daughter and they were raised exactly the same in every way, the children would turn out very similarly; that, other than the obvious physiological differences there should be no other differences between the two if raised identically. Uh huh. Right! Then, my son joined his older sister and, boy! Did I ever back up on that ridiculous line of thinking!!! Carrying this another step further, I am just amazed at the personality differences in this new colt (male) as compared to his full older sister of last spring! He's only 4 days old today and already so much more bold and aggressive and, well, just more boy! The funniest thing is that his mother treats him differently than she did with Cybil too. I'm really astounded at so much difference and at such a young age and now guess that some things never change no matter what the species. Let's hear it for that testosterone and the Y chromosome! ;-) Eh, well..... *shrug* Best, SueB
