    Actually, the state of Alabama has very strong sexual assault laws. I wasn't really aware of this, but just in the past two years along our laws have been strengthened dramatically by the legislature. Sentencing guidelines have strengthened and unlike some states, there is no statute of limitations on rape. Also, if he is indicted (and actually, before that if I really wanted to blow my hand before trying to get a confession), I can force him to submit to testing for HIV and Hepatitis. Now obviously, I've already been tested since the assault, but testing him is still something I'll ask for at indictment, if there is one.

    The detective feels that there is a good shot for indictment and conviction, it's just nerve-wracking waiting.

    I have quite a few wingnut friends. I'm like that, friends with everyone. Plus, if all of your friends share your politics, you'd never have anyone to argue with. Life would be so boring ;)

    I am defending HER. If by her, you mean our country. It was the reason for the post. Sorry, we're not going to agree on this one.

    Come on Billy, you'd gotten really hyperbolic with your argument at the beginning.

    Now, I like Olbermann's speech, because it was amusing and fun to FINALLY see a newsie take a stand on something. They all want to have an opinion, its refreshing to see one SAY what it is whether you agree with it or not. Even if he did entirely rip the idea off from the movie "Network." Remember that scene? "I'm mad and I'm not gonna take it any more!" - and and all the windows opening?

    Back to the debate we were having. We either are or are not having a war. You called them POW's. That was your word choice. If they are POW's they should have Geneva Convention protections. Not doing so puts our own missing soldiers, such as SGT Maupin and others (whom everyone seems to have conveniently forgotten), at a bizarre juxtaposition of status. Ask our "Missing/Captured" soldiers from this "War," "Action," or whatever you'd like to call it, how thrilled they are to be stripped of the Geneva guarantees they've held since 1949. Handy for the PENTAGON. But certainly not for them.

    p.s. my photos were NOT reinstated. I am SO vain that I took the damn trouble to repost every single one of them again!

    yeah you're right. I'm pretty.
    kidding.
    what I meant to say is, you're right. this is way an essay.
    i was just fucking around. can i say that on my own comments?
    anyway, so i thought to yank it before that "settle in" point of 14 days and didn't get to it in time. My own life is rather maudlin at the moment. rather too maudlin and somewhat involved and i can't write about it.

    I believe this is the standing Brad Pitt used adopt Angelina Jolie's other children, just as a by the way - the six month rule. I also had a supervisor, female and gay in Texas who had a little girl and her girlfriend and partner used this standing to adopt the child. It was a real mess when they split up later let me tell ya. Legally I mean.

    Eky, you have to check state by state but that is generally true. Check your states civil laws, its usually in the Family Code for the state. In any civil action, you have to have what is called "standing" to become a litigant or to intervene in litigation. When it comes to child custody, it is generally true that you have the appropriate standing if you are 1) a biological parent or 2) an adult with whom the child has been placed or has been living for six months or longer. Grandparents have frequently tried to intervene in cases with limited success. Technically, they don't have standing in many states unless the child has been living with them. Same with step-parents.
