Smidgen of Truth: March 2006
http://smidgenoftruth.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
A New Laptop Encourages Blogging. I think that I may have to revive this blog. I miss it. It helped sustain me through my horrible, horrible time in Illadelphia (as in makes me ill). One of the inspirations for my new blog attack is my new laptop which I love alot. It is definitely a laptop for girls as it has a matching Dooney and Bourke laptop case, which I have not purchased much to the surprise of my darling husband. Anyway, stop in and see me some time, I might actually have something to say.

The Bestest Squirrel Ever. Proving that everything in Florida is ridiculous. At Stanford we have tons of squirrels, but I've never seen one attack anyone. I know it's wrong to laugh because maybe this squirrel has rabies and he did bite some kids, but I can't help it. If you get your ass kicked by a squirrel you probably deserve it. Now watch.tomorrow one of these crazy little fuckers will come and get me. Posted by TruthSmidgen @ 11:55 PM. View my complete profile. I Might Be Blogging Again.

Not Quite the Woman I'd Like to Be. Today is my husband's birthday. I am a bit sad because this is the first time in the 12 years that we've been a couple that I've missed his birthday and I guess in fairness I'm not really missing it today since I've already spoken to him twice. But I am feeling a bit lame. Posted by TruthSmidgen @ 3:12 PM. One liberal on the Rights to Live and Die. I understand that in saying so I am setting up a difficult situation. What is an acceptable quality of life for me may...

Mad About Justice: Self-Analysis
http://madaboutjustice.blogspot.com/2007/11/self-analysis_09.html
Friday, November 9, 2007. The reason why having a racially diverse jury makes a difference only became clear to me after researching this project. People of different races and socioeconomic backgrounds have different interpretations of the law, and how it should be applied. I really liked your final quote:. But instead we should always be questioning, and never take anything as direct truth without first analyzing it thoroughly.". I agree. Therefore,. To: The UNC-Chapel Hill community. 1) The project wa...

Mad About Justice: Presumption of Innocence: Impossible
http://madaboutjustice.blogspot.com/2007/11/presumption-of-innocence-impossible.html
Friday, November 2, 2007. Presumption of Innocence: Impossible. There is no way to guarantee that jurors hold an unbiased approach to the trial at hand. While sitting upon the jury box, one is prone to applying their own morals and ethics to the case, and in doing so, they judge not according to the rules of law but to their own rules. This is discussed in greater depth in regards to tort reform in The Power of the Value-Driven Bias. For instance, the bride from. Who recently sued her florist. Happens af...
