The "Frustrated and tired " Entry
Date: 4 March 2005
Climate: is it spring yet? moreover, is old man winter dozing off yet?
Eating: ate carrots with dill and mashed potatoes for lunch
Drinking: diet soda
Feeling: crabby
Listening to:
Watching: I rented Daria: Is it College yet?
Reading: Trib mag story about my role model, Patrick Fitzgerald
Things in Chicago...
Its difficult to regard Matthew Hale’s statement that the slayings of Judge Lefkow’s family are “heinous” to be honest when the man is serving time for plotting her death.
Bear in mind that this is a man who leads a group of people who fundamentally believe that the federal government is plotting against them. It’s discouraging to know that Hale, while imprisoned, is preaching of an apocalyptic end to inmates who have nothing but time. Perhaps the institution of a gag order on criminals whose crime is their own mind and words there from, is a notion that policy makers should be considering. Never before has the influence of just one person’s mind and their words seem to be so connected to a movement devoted to violence and racial warfare. To compare him to Hitler may be a bit much right now, but Hale is indeed a descendant, and if Hale continues to be allowed to preach as he has and does now, there is no doubt that he and his followers would aim to reach such catastrophic proportions.
I left work at 830pm last night and was here at 7am. Not the first time this has happened. I am really frustrated with the office and vented at length to the administrative staff today...i feel better but still see quite a climb. Thank goodness for law school next fall.
