 A Louisiana Man on Death Row Found Innocent

"to help make up for.." I honestly believe NOTHING, not even the 14 mil, would be able to make for what this man has lost. Spending that much time behind bars knowing that you're innocent can take a toll on anyone. Sadly, this happens often and it seems like the justice system doesn't even care. No one wants to take the blame for putting a person through something like this and it's good to see that he has opened up a group to help others like him because there isn't many places for these inmates to go to get help. I'm glad you shed light on this issue a little bit because I think that alot of people don't want to believe that innocent people are behind bars. But, they really are and it's sad to say. No one wants to think that our justice system has flaws and that they convict innocent people to DEATH ROW but THEY DO.

The GAS Issue!

 Is it just me or does anyone else get just a TAD bit upset when you go to the gas pump and see the price of unleaded has gone up a significant amount (some cents) since the last time you filled your ride up?? I have been experiencing that for the past month or so now. And I heard that it's way higher in other places than Pflugerville's $3.44 per gallon.

I really don't understand why prices are so high when I've been hearing a buzz about how America has the largest energy resources on the planet, more than Saudi Arabia, China, and Canada combined?? You would think that the president would go with a plan that would create new jobs and decrease our reliance of foreign energy sources but it doesn't seem like he's leaning that way. It's starting to look like Obama is leaning towards the more "greener" side of things, using solar and wind power, which is ok but it's not solving our problems now and I don't think it will anytime soon.

I think we need to take advantage of the resources we have here and become self sufficient. I don't see why we can't?? Maybe I'm missing something here. I don't know. All I know is that the gas prices are going up and it don't seem like they're coming down anytime soon. I've been hearing rumors that gas prices are suppose to be up to $5 bucks by Labor Day. Seriously?? I think I'm gonna look into getting a ten speed.

Ay dios mio!
