I just read Grisham's "The Innocent Man" (non-fiction) and while I am not attempting to equate spending over a decade on death row with what has occurred in Durham, the frame up is very similar. Nifong could be the Ada, OK DA’s evil twin. The judge's strongly worded ruling (page 342) in denying the DA's motion for summary led to a multi-million dollar settlement. Despite the settlement the DA remains in office.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-56200935355518669472007-01-29T19:55:00.000-05:002007-01-29T19:55:00.000-05:00New info on Guilford College

On the other hand...I do believe that there are relatively higher states of being, and parallel states of being (this life that most of us live is only one plane on which reality takes place). There are more evolved beings, and more evolved states, than we humans typically experience. But accessing either the beings or the states...that is something outside of any frame of reference I've tapped into on an ongoing basis thus far in my life. <br /><br />I do know that when I follow my "intuition" at many points of decision making in my life, extraordinarily good things sometimes--even often--happen.<br /><br />Systematizing these inchoate experiences into something more organized...I just haven't done.Newyorkstateofmindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165305454568651927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-62150638663431548542007-01-28T23:01:00.000-05:002007-01-28T23:01:00.000-05:00NYSM
