My Life/ Cynthia Sommers/ My Life

After watching Larry King last night I think that Cynthia Sommers may have gotten a raw deal. He interviewed her from jail. After listening to her speak I have a lot of compassion for her. Maybe I'm just being stupid but I really don't think that there was enough evidence to convict her of murdering her husband. I didn't know to much about this case until last night. It is my understanding that they did not find the arsenic until she donated his organs. If she poisoned him why would she donate his organs? That would be enough reasonable doubt for me. I believe the jury looked at her actions after the fact. Who really knows how a grieving person will react after loosing someone they love. Honestly until it happens to you, who are we to judge. Who cares that a few months after his death she was having sex with others. I see her point she was looking for comfort. Not saying I would do the same, but sleeping around does not make you a murderer. Who cares if she took some of the money for a boob job, she also paid off a lot of debt they both acquired while married. And she put half the money in trusts for her children. Just because someone acts strange does not make them guilty. There is no direct evidence linking her to his death. How do you convict someone on nothing?

My Life/ It's Only My Opinion/ My Life

I am just an average person working to get by week to week, paycheck to paycheck. I am tired of doing the same old job day in and day out, and feeling like I am going nowhere. Surely not getting ahead, if anything falling more behind in credit card debt. The cost of living seems to go up every time we turn around, but our pay does not. Between gas prices and high heating bills what does one do to stay in the game? Like I said before I am just an average person , making an average living. My opinion doesn't count for much, but what is wrong with this country? Or should I say the leader of our country? It is not his loved ones fighting this war. He's not having any trouble making ends meet, if anything he is making money off this war. What about all of us common average people that are just left behind waiting. I tell my kids, work hard and you can achieve anything. I feel like I am lying to them. Circumstances stop us from achieving our goals. If you are not born into money, You will struggle, that is what I really feel like telling them. The world is not fair. You can graduate from college and still be working at a low paying job.
This war we are fighting, I do not understand. I don't know all the political crap, nor will I pretend to care. All that I do know is that my brother in law is serving in Iraq for the second time, leaving behind his wife and new daughter. FIGHTING FOR EXACTLY WHAT? My neighbor down the street, her brother also second time serving in Iraq. And the stories go on and on. Do we as Americans really have a voice. If I wrote a letter to our president here's a taste of what it might say:

Dear Mr President, You do not speak for all American people. You do not walk in our shoes, work our jobs, pay our bills or tuck our innocent children in bed every night. You do not have to tell grandparents, parents, brothers, sisters, and children, that their loved one was killed at war. To me a true leader cares about his people. Not just the ones with power and wealth.

Once again I am just an average person, but my view should count for something. If I can teach my kids anything, I hope to teach them that our voices really do matter. We should be heard, and we can make a difference. Lets not stop fighting for the good. Good will always prevail over evil. Peace
