More Than Enough Rope

Snarky thoughts on the legal issues that catch my fickle fancy. The death penalty, free speech, and anything else that happens to tweak my interest on any given day, when I should be studying for the bar, is fair game.

You're welcome to draw your own conclusions about my education, but I do have a couple of pieces of paper that say I was there, and a mid-sized student loan debt to prove it. My beliefs and opinions are colored by my place in the world, and I recognize that. I'm a parent, female, 30-something, socially liberal, fiscally moderate, slightly cynical, opinionated, judgmental, book-loving, political, and constantly asking "why?"

Slow Time

Slow for the blog.
Not for me.
I know I've missed commenting on quite a few things that have happened lately, including (baruch Hashem) a stay of execution, and sadly, a couple of executions carried out... Not to mention word that Michael Vick has been offered a plea deal (a rather sweet one...) that would give him less than a year in prison. Personally, I hope he takes it to trial. The world should hear about the absolute depravity that these people engage in.
Anyway. Here's part of the reason I've been so quiet:
I'm starting a new job, in an area that is very close to my heart. Not doing death penalty work, but working within an organization that combats domestic violence. Work that will give me a good mix of on-the-line work with women and children, and developing policy.
So, anyone who reads my rantings (yeah, both of you...) will please forgive me while I get my act back together and re-adjust priorities to accommodate everything I want to do.
I'm sure I'll be back to ranting and raving soon.
