In an effort that sorely misses the mark; a state senator from Florida has introduced a bill that would override local municipality residency restrictions on former sex offenders such as Miami’s 2500 foot restriction, one that creates a half-mile buffer zone around any school bus stop (a moving targ...

This is an exciting day! It is the day that I present my silver bullet solution for eliminating child sexual victimization. As my fingers tap out the words to this article, in my mind’s-eye I can imagine how Magellan must have felt as he led the first circumnavigation of the world by sea, yes sir,...

This week, at the urging of a family member, I went to donate blood. The Austin Bio-Med Center is located on I-35 in North Austin and is conveniently located to my sister’s home, where I am presently residing, so I decided to stop in and give. I was told that the first visit requires three hours o...

In yet another text-book example of why public sex offender registries, residency restrictions, nor any other convoluted mechanism designed to “manage” former sex offenders will ever stop someone who is intent on committing a heinous crime, 42-year-old Terapon Adhahn abducted a...

When I was in prison I often heard rumors of correctional officers who would issue an impossible command to an inmate if they wanted to put that inmate in “the hole,” a sort of jail within a prison where inmates are made to serve time for disciplinary infractions. The officer would simply order the ...

Dear Director of Sex Offender Registration,
I am writing to you today to notify you that I have relocated out of the State of Kansas and to inform you of my new address. My new permanent address is located in the State of Confusion, in the Land of Constitutional Fortitude. You will find my new...

Sometimes even the best laid intentions are overshadowed when one exhibits symptoms of F.M.S. – Fat Mouth Syndrome.
This past week I spoke out against what I felt was an unfair attack against the Miami Beach Police Department regarding their handling of the policing of our group’s media event h...

It seems that all the media attention of late has been given to Los Angeles County’s newest inmate, Paris Hilton. This makes today’s lack of media attention toward a serious human rights issue facing our nation even that much more insulting. After a month of prep...

Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore!
As I make my arrival in Miami, Florida to prepare for next week’s media event in protest of this city’s serious constitutional and human rights violations against former sex offenders, I am compelled to call attention to the disparity of laws from stat...

It’s as though I went to sleep and have awakened to find myself in The Land of Stupid where all people have lost their ability to think rationally but instead rely on their misguided and politically motivated government officials to tell them what to think.
What other reason could there possibly ...

The alleged sex offense against 18-year-old Joshua Lunsford, son of Mark Lunsford, has the potential to become a catalyst for change. Could it be that the proverbial lightning that has struck twice within this family could actually work toward a common good by igniting the candle from opposite ends...

Imagine what would happen if the police came and took a person out to a field, marched them up the steps of a two-story platform, tied their hands behind their back, placed a gunny-sack over their head, placed a noose around their neck, lowered the weight of their body onto the rope for 45 seconds s...

“In our nature, however, there is a provision, alike marvelous and merciful, that the sufferer should never know the intensity of what he endures by its present torture, but chiefly by the pang that rankles after it.”
The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne

On April 12, 2007, at Club Zen in Trinidad, rap-star Akon engaged in a sexual act on stage during a live concert with a 15-year-old girl. The act amounted to dry-humping and lasted for about 30 seconds during which he placed the young girl on her back on the stage, spread her legs and proceeded to m...

In 1607, Edward Topsell wrote: “If by covetousness or negligence, one withdraw from them their ordinary foode, he shall be penny wise, and pound foolish.” In other words, if you take resources you need in one area and you negligently spend those resources on something that you don’t need then you a...

Given all of the hype and hysteria in recent years regarding Registered Sex Offenders one would think that the chances of your child being attacked by one of these so-called boogeymen living in our midst would have to be very high. In fact, listening to the politicians and media would have you want...

The Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 makes failure to register by a sex offender a felony punishable by a fine of up to $250,000 and/or up to 10 years in prison; however, most state laws are much tougher. For example, in Kansas a sex offender who has already paid his debt to socie...

Earlier this month the British Government announced that it has rejected public demands for “Sarah’s Law,” a body of legislation modeled after Megan’s Law in the United States, which makes the law-enforcement accessible sex offender registry available to the general public.

I just came in from cleaning the pool. While I was doing so a wasp flew around looking for a drink. He was minding his own business just going about his daily activities trying to survive and not bothering anyone.
Immediately I became irritated by his mere presence. Unknowingly, he carried o...

On Monday, April 16, 2007, as I watched early reports about the terrible shootings on the campus of Virginia Tech University the thing that surprised me wasn’t necessarily that the shooting had occurred but that the shooter wasn’t a registered sex offender or a family member of a registered sex offe...
