'Tis the Season...

'Tis the season to get your ankles crushed by some crazed shopper's shopping cart. Bah Hum Bug! LOL Well not really. But, I'm not too fond of the holidays. It's not because I'm a Scroogette or anything. It's just that I mean...come on? What's the purpose? Traffic is a mess, people act a fool, the crime rate goes up, and you got folks going into debt just to get Little Billy the latest toy thingy. It's a sham if you ask me.

Today, I attended my fourth and final "End of the Year Party" at work. I'm all partied out. That's more than enough socializing I wanted to do with those folks. Everyone is so phony. Surprisingly, my boss found it in her heart to thank me endlessly for all of my hard work this year. She did it in front of 200+ people. I was surprised as she hardly ever acknowledges anything. Briefly, I felt a little warm and fuzzy inside.

My thoughts on the Tookie Williams execution: I am not 100% against the death penalty. However, if there is a 1% chance that a person might be innocent, why take that chance and determine that they should be executed? Execution is too easy...life in prison seems more of an appropriate punishment.
