Justice?

Post by Alan Evil »

Wheelchair-confined Richard Paey committed almost exactly the same violations of Florida prescription drug laws that radio personality Rush Limbaugh did, with a different result: Limbaugh's sentence, in May, was addiction treatment, and Paey's, in 2004, was 25 years in prison. Both illegally possessed large quantities of painkillers for personal use, which Paey defiantly argued was (and will be) necessary to relieve nearly constant pain from unsuccessful spinal surgeries after an auto accident, but which Limbaugh admitted was simply the result of addiction. (In fact, if Limbaugh complies with his plea bargain, his conviction will be erased.) Paey's sentence now rests with a state Court of Appeal. [Tampa Tribune, 2-8-06]

come on RRO...everything can be turned political. besides, we know richard paey was a card carrying liberal, since he was a walmart scooter bound, refusing to work, overweight, toothless, tobacco chewing, drug addict. or is that my mother?

but I do take exception with one thing: pigsfeet?

A good reminder for anyone who believes we're not living in a quasi-oligarchy....

King Arthur: Well I am king.
Dennis: Oh, king eh? Very nice. And how'd you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers. By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society.
King Arthur: I am your king.
Woman: Well I didn't vote for you.
King Arthur: You don't vote for kings.
Woman: Well how'd you become king then?
[Angelic music plays... ]
King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king.
Dennis: [interrupting] Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

Ya think that's bad, look into the genuinely tragic story of Jeb Bush's substance abusing daughter. It's nice to be white, upper-middle class and politically connected!

Here's some more info on Richard Paey:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/01/ ... 8202.shtml

The really, really scary things in this story is how the cops scared his doctor so bad that the doctor started simply telling the cops whatever it was he thought they wanted to hear, and how the cops were basically practicing medicine (saying, 'there's no way an individual can use that much pain killer himself, he must be selling it...')

Sarcasm is a tool the weak use to avoid confrontation. People with any balls just outright lie.
