When the defendant has already suffered enough, when it would be unfair or against the public interest for the defendant to be convicted, when the jury disagrees with the law itself, when the prosecution or the arresting authorities have gone “too far” in the single-minded quest to arrest and convict a particular defendant, when the punishments to be imposed are excessive or when the jury suspects that the charges have been brought for political reasons or to make an unfair example of the hapless defendant …
that is when a jury can acquit.a provision that allows that the foregoing may happen.
i bet this is not a part of the instruction to the jury.

she had hardly listened to any,an abyssmal lack of.curiousity/intellect.a sad fuck. i complied.and this morning i woke up feeling like a nazi at a book burning.i am loathing this person today,who by the way is constantly bemoaning her boredom......she deserves boredom.

Chinese leaders have the difficult task of 'smoothing the pillow' for the dying US Empire, without provoking one last, desperate, outburst of US aggression and violence. Burdened by debt, by a failing techno-scientific dominance(soon to be passed by the Chinese)a failing education system, failing infrastructure, a currency on the verge of a precipitous drop to worthlessness, a society riven by record inequality and ideological hatred amounting to outright fury, a dysfunctional political system where compromise is a dirty word and 'winner-takes-all' tactics rule the day, and a global empire suffering terminal overstretch, the US is that most dangerous creature, the wounded beast. Its one strong suit left, military power and the readiness to inflict violence or threaten it to intimidate, makes it yet more dangerous. If we get out of this without a war, I'll be very surprised.

dear children,an important lesson.its about power and status.when they say “i want to give something back” add quietly in your mind the words “to me”.all life is about hierarchies. ask your self,constantly, who benefits.ask always “how much to whom”.the more pious it sounds,dig deeper.ask why the sin resonates.when you see a broken thing,it suits some.and some get upset if you question it.tradition got us here(politically).
why a 3 year term?surely the effects of changes take longer than 3 years to be assesable?.why not vote on a lot of separate issues by internet? read a lot,knowledge is everything,relish the real richness possible if you shed the crap told to you by self serving smarmy bastards. lol."

And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment…. It requires a change in outlook, a change in tactics, a change in missions—by the government, by the people, by every businessman or labor leader, and by every newspaper. For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence—on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice……And so it is to the printing press—to the recorder of man’s deeds, the keeper of his conscience, the courier of his news—that we look for strength and assistance, confident that with your help man will be what he was born to be: free and independent.”

So your faith still tells you to try and save me?
And you can’t understand why I can’t see?
Why I can’t or won’t join your merry band
Let me explain in words you will understand

Every baby who dies, every mother who weeps
Every father who searches, every suicide who leaps
Every gun-carrying child, every hate filled word
Every landmine injury, every unsheathed sword

Every man, woman and child who dies from malnutrition
Every government that sells aid to buy ammunition
Every drunk driver, every mourning son
Every crying daughter, every loaded gun

Every hole we find in the ozone layer
Every illegal pesticide sprayer
Every earthquake that crushes, every volcano that burns
Every hurricane that smashes, every tornado that turns

Every factory that still employs child labour
Every man who steals from his neighbour
Every avalanche that destroys, every surging flood
Every fire that razes, every town buried by mud

Every pensioner alone with hypothermia
Every fevered child with malaria
Every dead coral reef, every polluted sea
Every acid rain cloud, every poisoned tree

Every baby born with aids or heroin addiction
Every person in prison from corrupt conviction
Every coffin borne, every spiteful act
Every hostage taken, every broken pact

Every child beaten for making a noise
Every sick abuser of girls and boys
Every innocent betrayal, every youngster beguiled
Every shaken baby, every tortured child

Every grenade-throwing fanatic who kills for belief
Every happy home despoiled by the thief
Every fear, every tear, every raised fist
Every cry, every sigh, every slashed wrist

Every lie to perpetuate the status quo
Every forgotten relative waiting for a hello
Every knife, every strife, every wasted life
Every fight, every flight, every unkind slight

When any one of these things occurs
No angel protests, no cherub stirs
No messiah descends cloaked in light
No prophet returns to defend the right
No guru arrives to help the poor
No saint appears to stop the war
No answered prayers, all in vain.
No comfort for those alone in pain
No helping hand from a god on high
No explanation, apology or reason why

The question has to be asked "why is paedophilia so common within the Catholic Priesthood"?"

You don’t have to be Sigmund Freud to work out that equating the biological imperative that the human animal shares with all other living creatures to sexually reproduce as “original sin” and repressing an entirely natural drive to have sex in order to take a vow of celibacy is mentally unbalanced and psychologically unhealthy.

In other words, their entire philosophy and belief system is deeply flawed and actually unnatural.

Instead of acting like sex-hating prudes who are obsessed with what consenting adults get up to in the privacy of their own bedrooms maybe the Catholic church and all the Abrahamic faiths should just grow out of their self-induced infantilism and try to understand that there is nothing more unnatural than men in dresses who don’t have sex lecturing the rest of us who do have sex that they shouldn’t be having sex.

Minister in 'secret' snow meeting with mogul | News.com.au: "Senator Conroy announced on February 7 that free-to-air providers would pay $250 million less in licence fees over the next two years in order to protect Australian content.
But his decision contained no clause making it compulsory for the networks to spend the money producing Australian content, meaning the money will instead go directly to their bottom lines.
Pay-TV operators, including the biggest broadcaster, Foxtel (which is part-owned by News Ltd, publisher of the Sunday Herald Sun), were unhappy, accusing the Government of giving preferential treatment to the free-to-air operators.
Senator Conroy is already under pressure after recommending his mate, former Queensland Labor MP Mike Kaiser, should get a $450,000-a-year job with NBN Co, the government agency responsible for rolling out the Government's $43 billion national broadband network.
The Government is also under fire over revelations Environment Minister Peter Garrett had been warned 13 times about dangers in the Government's funding of housing insulation.
The flood of money spawned a rise in untrained operators, leading to a spate of house fires."....................your government at work.
