The Poop Deck

Thought Bubble

In an attempt to resurrect the slowly fading Poopdeck due to lack of updates, I figured it was time to start doing something on a daily basis, just to keep the poor ship afloat.

So, in an attempt to jump start my brain waves and get things going again, I'll start out simple. Just a thought, or two, or three... that I may have during the day. Maybe someday the Poopdeck will get back to the way it was almost 3 years ago. Some of these thoughts may be totally random, some may not be logical, and some may actually be thought provoking (fingers crossed)... but I will try to do it a bit more regularly.

What sparked all of this was a recent article I read on CNN. I try not to get too involved with the news as it tends to be a bit sad, depressing, and overall negative for me, but I do check out the headlines (and entertainment news) on CNN everyday just to stay on top of things. I was reading about Moussaoui, the guy being charged with all the September 11th 'stuff.' As I was reading, it occured to me how difficult a job it must be to defend this guy. I know it's all in a days work for a lawyer... lie, point fingers, twist and bend the truth... but what do you say when you get the phone call telling you to defend the guy that destroyed a symbol of America, and killed thousands of people?

Hopefully I'm missing something here. I am not, nor will I ever claim to be a law aficionado, but I sat here thinking wow... who do they choose, and WHO WOULD ACCEPT??? If I was the lawyer, I'd be like "dude he's guilty."

Anyway, that's my thought bubble for today.
