Elementary School in the parking
We understand the tenure com-
mission's opinion that her hiring of
her niece was inappropriate and in
violation of the court nepotismpoli-
cy. That is clear. Does thatmerit the
exceptional punishment about to
be meted out to her? Is she really
responsible for $81,188.88 in costs
to the court?
The commissionmembers admit
that James never took a penny for
herself, but still charged her with
financial improprieties, employ-
ment improprieties and misrepre-
sentations. The special master at
the hearings and testimony in the
matter went so far as to claim that
James demonstrated a disregard
for the law. That we find a bit ludi-
crous. After so many years on the
bench, taking charge of others' fates
and being the final word and deci-
sion maker in more than 25,000
cases, she may have evidenced
some hubris, but we find it difficult
to fathom any disrespect for the
law.
But as we said, we weren't there.
We didn't hear it all. We don't have a
degree in legal ethics or expertise
in judicial conduct. We don't have
the empirical knowledge to chal-
lenge or question that opinion.
These determinations were made
by people far more experienced,
intelligent and knowledgeable than
we are.
But we do have enough under-
standing of our judicial system to
understand one basic tenet of the
law: The punishment should fit the
crime.
In this case, in light of the whole
picture of James' long career, both
good and bad, we're just not sure
that is the case. We just aren't sure
that the scales of justice have been
properly weighted on both sides of
this situation.

play with live actors bringing
drama or comedy right to them that
they ignore. They are in the compa-
ny of real life peoplewho can share
their lives, experiences, thoughts,
opinions on a personal, intimate
way ---- and they are all slaves to
those little machines. They are tex-
ting people who can disguise any
real interaction or emotion with
the flick of a thumb. Not tomention
that at least one of those “friends”
is actually at 265 pound, 43-year-old
computer game freak who lives on
fast food delivered to his grand-
mother's basement.
They are so addicted to these
devices, they risk their lives so they
can send or receive messages
while they are behind the wheel of
a car. Tell me that's not just plain
nuts.
Ping.
Perish the thought that these
young people should ever take the
time to just sit quietly and contem-
plate the relationships they have,
or think about how they feel, or
what the world is really about.
What about ameaningful conversa-
tion about the world? What about
an honest exchange of ideas? How
many of them will ever know or
understand the real depth friend-
ships can reach and the impor-
tance of real, personal human
interaction in their growth as
human beings?Not many I'll wager,
unless of course, there's an app for
that.
Ping. Ping. Ping. SPLASH.
That last one was the sound of
my accidentally dropping the
phone into the large white porce-
lain receptacle in the bathroom.
No not the tub, the other one.
Actually, it sounded more like PIII-
IIIIINNNNGGGGGGGG, flush.
Now, I can sleep.
