Well I think I’m living on Planet Decency – but in reality I guess I’m living on the edge of a drug infested sh*thole. Yes of course I realise that illegal drugs can be obtained relatively simply – if you really try. I just found myself wondering why the mother chose that particular method of killing her son.
Then I recalled an article written about the son’s accident, way back. As I remember it, he had been involved in some sort of street altercation, whilst he was “high” on something or other…. illegal drugs probably, but it could have been ethanol.
He was apparently injured; an ambulance was sent for and he was placed in it, to be taken to his nearest A&E for ‘repair’. It was said that he was so out of it (on drugs???) that during the high speed dash to A&E he overpowered the medics and leapt out of the back of the ambulance; causing (or adding to) the injuries that later on led to his mother murdering him.
I wonder if the ‘real’ reason for the mother murdering her son had nothing to do with wanting to help end his pain and something to do with her wanting to finish the job that he seemed to have started.
…….. or alternatively, infect all heroin with Anthrax and finish off the drug problem once and for all.
This is last week’s news minim – a “Government source” leaked May as the proposed date of the forthcoming election several days ago and the press has been full of it since.
Mind you the press is always full of it, eh?
If you can’t choose between one set of rogues and another set – vote for your local Monster Raving Looney candidate. At least you KNOW that their policies make no sense at all and that they’ll NEVER carry them out.
Saves all that disappointment later on.
I thought the same minim – why kill off your customers AND (in marketing terms) undermine your product’s value and penetration into its marketplace.
Then I thought, hang on a minute – it’s just the Scots and Germans that are getting done with Anthrax riddled heroin. Maybe there is somebody out there who doesn’t just want to screw up heroin addicts ….. but has a particular down on the Jocks and the Germans.
Problem is that this still leaves millions of suspects !!!

I did hear on the radio that RBS, now largely owned by British taxpayers, lent US company Kraft money to mount the successful bid to take over Cadburys. Shocking!
Yes … absolutely shocking indeed. They should have stepped back and allowed another bank to lend the money to Kraft – that would have been the right thing to do eh?

A woman is in jail after police say she forced her 12-year-old son to kill his pet hamster with a hammer as punishment for bad grades.
Well I think it is a really harsh punishment for getting bad grades. After all the hamster probably tried as hard as it could – it wasn’t its fault that it got bad grades. Surely it could have had another chance at taking its exams???
Ungrateful people who complain when someone buys them a lunch that wasn’t to their entire satisfaction.

One question for you PB
Would you want to live like that ? I’m not saying she was right or wrong in what she did I’m just curious to know if you’d want to live in such a vegetative state.You sure pose a tough question Velvet.
The honest answer is, I don’t really know. Part of me says that I wouldn’t want to be like that for the rest of what might remain of my life; and part of me acknowledges that the will to live – whatever the circumstances – is very strong indeed….. in all of us.
If it had to be, then I guess I’d want to live on as long as possible. I would always have my memories of the past and I presume that I would have some recognition of my present. It’s easy to say (from the perspective of being healthy and active) “I could never go on living if this happened to me” but if, God forbid, it did happen then I suspect that one’s perspective would change a lot.
I suppose that the answer is that it should be up to the affected individual to make the decision to go on living, or to end it all. If they are unable to make, or communicate, their decision … then I think that the ‘default setting’ should be to preserve their life as long as reasonably possible.
I had the identical experience when my daughter brought her memory stick home from school. A swift scan by Uncle K followed by bid red screens screaming “Infection found”.
GOTCHA !!!!!
There’s nothing more pleasurable than the slighlty smug and self-satisfied smile of a parent who can (on this occasion at any rate) seem to know more about IT that their offspring!!!!
On reading today’s follow up stories in the papers, it would appear that the son was totally ‘brain damaged’ and was incapable of doing anything other that blinking and perhaps moving a finger, or something like this.
To my mind, this begs the question around how on earth the mother could have “known” that her son was in unbelievable agony etc etc given that he was, to all practical intents and purposes, a paraplegic with no means of external communication.
The more I think about it the more I’m drawn to the view that this was a callous act of murder by a mother who simply wanted rid of her burden – rather that an act of love by a ‘caring’ mother who wanted to help her son die peacefully and end his suffering.
I reckon that the “Guilty” verdict was the correct one and she should now be punished accordingly.
