It is true, though, that the basis of our legal system was originally in common ground, rather than discrete specialism as it is today.<BR/><BR/>NMJ - thanks :) I am not very experienced at 'doing' angry so it's good to practice :)<BR/><BR/>McBobo - thanks sir. I think I'm an ENTJ myself, but always wanted to be an ENTP, so at least I'm letting go of my judgemental side a little. Or perhaps that's the other influences on the blog!<BR/><BR/>DW - lovely to see you. Yes and yes and yes again. It's beyond comprehension isn't it?Strayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09283777118421693358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143707484157174122.post-77131611022253192162009-01-23T21:23:00.000+00:002009-01-23T21:23:00.000+00:00Glad to hear he's been granted a judicial review. ...Glad to hear he's been granted a judicial review. It has been obvious right from the start of this case that here is a man with an obsession regarding gaining information that would put no-one at risk except to call in to question the so called security of a goverments computer system. When you follow the trail that Gary took through the heart of this computer system it is obvious even to someone like me that he laid down so many trails back to himself that his concentration was on finding the photo's etc that would underpin his belief of UFO's not in attacking the USA government. The damage he caused has always seemed to me to be of the 'oh shit why did you climb through that window, we had it propped open to let air flow not for access.' and needed response along the lines 'Your footprints on the frame are not very pretty you will need to to get rid of those and show us how you do that and how you found the latch so easy to spring' kind. <BR/>That I would probably say this would entail Gary being told he had to give up time and energy without pay to do this and any other project identified by a mediator/judge would seem way for a community to recognise the 'good' that could be found for the whole community rather than the individual and the possible positive they can give being lost to both themselves and the wider community having him incarcerated.<BR/>Whether he has been given a diagnosis of some 'disability' or not should not even come in to it if a judicial system actually begins to recognise the system is about individuals joined together to listen and consider facts about another individual and taking the time and attention to recognise themselves in the situation and finding human and positive way to build community not continue to fracture it by the ease with which incarceration is answer to every 'crime'... especially the one of being human and human who doesn't tick the right boxes through dint of 'inability / ability' not through malice aforethought.<BR/>As someone who recently heard the immortal words "it's your oddness that causes concern here" from someone with a title with some power - well they think so:0) I have much sympathy with Gary. Teach me to cross hatch all the boxes of a questionaire with various coloured felt pens rather than just tick one box on each question. The colours pertained to the answer I had to give plus short hand for F**K O** which the 'brilliant' title couldn't even begin to understand and wasn't open to conversation.<BR/>Someone just needed to have a real conversation with Gary and imagine beyond any box on paper or made up of concrete and locked door. That this might be best done by an advocate rather than a group of peers might be the case for acceptance that the flaws of a governments computer system can be reflected in a jury and that a mediator separate from both jury and community/government is needed to sfae gaurd them all. <BR/>But then what do I know I'm odd:0)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143707484157174122.post-80267048898385395332009-01-23T21:16:00.000+00:002009-01-23T21:16:00.000+00:00Mmm.

Yes, why the hell not use his talents to highlight holes in security, that makes much more sense than prison! And what effect is prison going to have on his health? It's all bullshit. You are right to feel angry.nmjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05477643084619789093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143707484157174122.post-17724644454969673092009-01-23T15:07:00.000+00:002009-01-23T15:07:00.000+00:00Can me sensitive, but think I'm sensing some anger...Can me sensitive, but think I'm sensing some anger?<BR/><BR/>BTW, I've analysed this family blog and it turns out to a ESTP Promoter Executor, Myers Briggs personality type - a doer.
