Show Recap - June 25

Good show tonight I thought.

Judge Steven Teske from the Juvenile Court in Clayton County was our guest. We were also joined by Michael Warshauer for about an hour or so.

It was my intention to see where the listeners were at by touching on a couple of subjects. I welcomed the people who were participating in the Pride Festival to Atlanta. One caller took exception with this. This caller made the point that after the festival there was a tremendous amount of debris left behind, including used prophalactics. While I cannot speak to this directly, I will say that I wasn't condoning or encouraging behavior that was objectionable. Simply because you belong to a group of one kind or another does not give you license to treat any community worse. If I wasn't clear on that with the caller or with my remarks I apologize.

The Judge was terrific. Really too much stuff to cover it all here. If you ever have a child that is going to be a part of the juvenile justice system, consider moving to Clayton County because they really get it done out there.

Michael Warshauer was also great. The civil justice system in Georgia is under attack, even with the wins that the pro-reform crowd experienced last year. There are a whole mess of people who should be banding together to resist these changes. I hope that folks like Michael can help people pool resources to increase efficacy.

Finally, we didn't get to a lot of things. I had hoped to speak more about the Flag issue, and some of the remarks of that White House official that were so offensive to some. With so many of our men and woman in uniform still in harm's way on this eve of fourth of July, it is particularly difficult to accept that a tragedy like 9/11 would be used for strictly political purposes. I am shocked to see the recent polls that make it seem like the bottom is falling out of the support of the President. Whether you are a supporter of the President or not, our military is still out there every day trying to get it done for all of us. Let us not forget that.
