Plotinus was a first rate synthetic philosopher that combined and illustrated the best aspects of prior philosophers and added his own mystic insights. His concepts are consonant with about 70 of Christian divine mechanics interestingly. The idea He had about a river of creation flowing eternally from 'The One' that is 'translated from a realm of forms or intellect into material composition reminds me quite a lot of Jesus' discussion about 'the water of life' from which she would never thirst, as Jesus was God for-himself. It is disappointing that so many have simply been formed within a non-philosophical, purely materialist intellectual criterion that is implicitly biased.

Second-guessing is as bad for the criminal justice system as it is for football games. I have a real problem with having a case that was investigated 31 years ago and found to be an accident and then reinvestigated 30-plus years later when everything is destroyed and it's found to be a murder.

I don't think anyone in their right mind could do something like this, especially for the reason this girl did. It was a little ridiculous. It doesn't make sense. That worried me the most, if someone like that was left to be on the streets because I really believe that girl would hurt someone again if she wasn't locked up.
