The Scott Peterson trial specifically brought up some issues for me to ponder which I never normally do. One: The death penality. Two: How wrapped up should we, the Joe Schmoe general public, get in these high profile cases? When it doesn't pertain to us, when we weren't there, haven't seen the evidence and know nothing about what's going on on the "inside", is it silly to get wrapped up in it?
I didn't "follow" the Peterson case, but I did take a keen interest in one psychic's ongoing updates about the case which was featured on Rense.com. She claimed, long before the bodies were found, where Lacey was killed and that she was dumped in the Bay, with weights on her body to hold her down, and she specified exactly WHERE Lacey was submerged. She was in communication with the police, trying to get them to listen to her, telling them where to look, but they didn't seem to be taking her seriously. She also claimed that she was in contact with the other side, talking to various spirits who filled her in on the details of Lacey's murder and body disposal. She said she could hear Lacey herself, although she didn't talk to her directly; Lacey was "in her own world" from what she described, lost, looking for her Mom and very confused. It was really sad reading the transcripts of the "dialogue". Then lo and behold, the bodies appeared right in the area that the psychic predicted. She was right.
And while I didn't follow the case, I did also take an interest in the verdict. I found myself hoping for him to be found guilty and found myself going "YES!!!!" when he was. I was very pleased about the guilty verdict. Which made me immediately question whether it was silly to get wrapped up in this. I know this may sound paranoid, but when you begin to question the validity of reality, and when you've gone down the paranoid road of "IS ANY OF THIS EVEN REALLY **REAL** ?!?!?! then you wonder if stuff like this is even real either.
On a sidenote............................Michael Jackson anybody? What do you all think of THIS nutjob? Me? I believe the whack job is guilty as charged. I can't help it, whenever I see a new headline about the case I'm all over it, clicking on the link. The latest? Someone on the "inside" leaked to the media that Jackson's prints.......as well as the prints of a kid................were found on porn mags confiscated from Neverland Ranch. I know, we don't have proof, who knows if it's true, but I can't help following along and am just ROOTING for this self mutilated caricature of a human being to be flushed down the toilet. He's just so fricking DISGUSTING. I can hardly bear looking at his nasty mug. UGH. I think he's guilty, he's probably Split Personality, and totally crazy and insane as hell. And I hope they lock the fucker up and keep him away from little kids. It's taken long enough.
But again..........to feel this way relies on a certain degree of believing things we haven't seen for ourselves, and taking the entire thing "on faith." I mean, let's face it............I've never even seen Michael Jackson. I have zero personal proof that he actually exists. Yet I believe and follow the stories, taking it all on faith. Interesting concept to think about..............
