Yes I was sick and lost my voice which made my wife happy, but now I’m getting better - thought I would pass along this news story which was sent to me:

Subject: a tragic case
Raleigh, N.C. (AP) - A seven-year-old boy was at the center of a Cary,
N.C. courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over
who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in
keeping with child custody law and regulations requiring that family
unity be maintained to the degree possible.

The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him
more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When
the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy
cried out that they also beat him.

After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning
that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the
judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who
should have custody of him.

After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child
welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the University of North Carolina football team, whom the boy firmly believes and the world knows is not capable of beating anyone.

The Kinston City Council met last night, and by-golly we passed the consent agenda – nothing was discussed and it was time wasted for anyone who watched it live.  If you missed it don’t worry, you can probably live without it.

Seems the voters would be better served if the work session was televised, after all that’s where the deals are made and voters don’t need to see one of those sessions – people might not get re-elected! Don’t forget to register and log-in to our chat room. click Here
