Still waiting for Governor Schwarzenegger to make a decision on Stanley 'Tookie" Williams plea for clemency.
I'm wondering if the governor will take the pleas for 'clemency' from the four victims murdered wtih a shotgun made to Tookie into account.
And here's something that can be classified 'from the mouths of babes': the other night I was listening to The John & Ken Show on KFI 640 from Los Angeles and they were talking about Tookie. My kid listened to this stuff for a few minutes and asked me about it. I explained what I knew about the case and what was happening now with Tookie's asking for clemency.
My daughter got a thoughtful look on her face and said: 'Well, he killed some people and has to pay for it. It's not right to kill people and he deserves his punishment' Like I said - a wisdom years ahead of her time.
And before anyone spouts off about my 'polluting' her mind with conservative 'garbage', I'll tell you this: I always - always preface anything I tell my kid with the fact that I'm telling her my opinion versus the fact(s) of a situation. My wife and I work overtime to ensure that she knows what-is-what as opposed to what we think about any specific situation. This is probably the one thing that worries me about raising a child in this day & age: making sure that she can think for herself instead of simply parroting what is blathered about in the media.
In any case, here (once again) is what I'm hoping the governor will say to Tookie:
Way to go, Arnold. That what I call "commuting the sentence". We're commuting him to somewhere
