Anything With a Mother and a Dead Child

now that the casey anthony extravaganza is over, the vultures begin to fly round the carcass wanting in on whatever bit of rotting meat is leftover--- anthony is said to make at least $750,000 from a book deal, while the television & movie industry is foaming at the mouth, eagerly awaiting her release (actually it doesn’t even matter if she gets released, as she is free to sign on to any financial endeavor while still behind bars)--- no one could have put it better than linda konner, a literary agent in nyc, when she said “anything with a mother and a dead child tends to attract lots of attention.” regardless of how you personally feel about the verdict (if you care at all), consider yourself lucky to not be a florida state tax payer, as due to the fact that anthony was facing the death penalty, the stakes went up when it came to defending her--- it is estimated that the court trial & all relevant costs, etc. will sum up to be $4.5 million dollars. casey anthony’s offer by vivid entertainment, to make a pornographic film was retracted by co-chairman, steve hirsch because after seeing the public’s reaction, he figured his company could not make money off her afterall. now, consider for a moment those that were weeping, saying that they lost their faith in the justice system--- better yet, consider what was happening in the rest of the world over the weekend besides the anthony case, like 6,000 inmates in 11 california prisons being on hunger strike this past weekend because of “torturous & inhumane conditions”--- or perhaps the 14 MORE AFGHAN CIVILIANS killed yesterday in a US/NATO airstrike in khost province (with 8 of the 14 being children) & then think about those that felt that they had lost their faith in the US justice system--- that same system that is supposed to be soooooooo great that we are compelled to bring it to other countries with airstrikes, troops & drones. alas, if a young white girl & her dead baby would work as a formula to draw attention to all of the reasons to lose faith in the US justice system, we could simply give her photo-ops at all of the afghan operations & for the prison hunger strike, have her parade through cali’s prison population for starters.
