He is truly talented.<br /><br />Thanks<br />MarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6578792.post-1103012915849901462004-12-14T00:28:00.000-08:002004-12-14T00:28:00.000-08:00Jon-

Having visited the South West about 7 years ago, I well remember driving through Arizona past the prison warning signs. We were on our way to San Diego for a Christmas holiday - rather different circumstances from Jon. It takes enormous character to survive and be as upbeat as Jon manages to sound - I admire him greatly.<br />Please pass on my best wishes and hopes that his new accommodation will be an improvement.<br /> <br />KenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6578792.post-1102934450483944522004-12-13T02:40:00.000-08:002004-12-13T02:40:00.000-08:00I am writing this to everyone out there whether th...I am writing this to everyone out there whether they are for or against Jon's jailing. Everybody does have and rightfully so the freedom of their opinions. However, the only thing that baffles me is that some, who have never met a person, seen their good and bad, could so hastily jump on the 'punish them they are guilty band wagon.' And how does this happen? Because of the accusations of yet another group of people who also have no care nor concern for the people they are sentencing. Justice is an absolute must, I agree. But why did it turn from justice because of facts,to justice with which highly paid "defender" has the best "gift of gab" to "prove" to the "jurors" who also do not know, the accused person, other than that which to is fed to them? To me it does not seem right, but that is the system. What does surprise me though is that we Americans who, always bitch about taxes, the price of gasoline, housing, any living expense,etc... can seem to justify the money it costs to house an inmate,which is more than most people make working. Guilty? "absolute proven guilt"? Yes, no problem. Guilty probably we think ? No way .<br />I work too hard for my money. How about when the innocent get set free, which by the way is happening more frequently. Do we as taxpayers get our refund on the wasted money spent to hold them in prison ? Do the innocent parties get their life back? I don't think so. Perhaps we all need to think twice before making the decision......?<br /> <br />we love you Jon,<br />Barry, Lori, JazAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
