Thank you, Jesus, for helping me fix my scanner so that I can continue in my quest to spread the word of opposition to the Dark Side of Humanity

The picture is of one of the original members of Tampa NOW, Cathy Goodiwn, who is a lawyer. This was taken when we had a million women march for choice in Washington.

Some of the best times of my life have been spent on the picket line. To picket anything, you have to be immune to what the neighbors think. If you faint at being called crazy, do not indulge in picketing. But if you take joy in shouting back to a roadside bigot, "Same to you, fella!" you are born for the picket line.

I have sent the following comment from a reader to all the board and administration. They need to know how their behavior looks to people in the real world. lee

How can school board members be so unethical? Don't they care about the children? It is like insult to injury when we have board members who allow abuse of taxpayer dollars to go on and they don't stop it and then crucify someone who speaks up about the abuse. I wonder if Candy Olson, Jack Lamb, and Carol Kurdell go to church. If they sat mum while the district crucified Erwin, they probably aren't going to Heaven.

Jack Davis is certainly NOT 32......he is probably retirement age, although I believe, like you, that he is probably retiring b/c he has to.....he was the main person that was over the buses, and Elia got a LOT of heat about the bus situation this Fall.

I know he's not 32: I was being satirical. If you didn't see it as such, I need to sharpen my satire. lee

These Erwin court files present the feudal psyche of the school board and administration.

Here's the situation's bare bones: the top of the hierarchy is the superintendent, the equivalent of a meld of Yahweh and Beelzebub. Yahweh-Beelzebub's word is law. If an administrator departs from it, Yahweh expels him or her but not before torture of the kind that Abu Ghraib's amateur practitioners would have envied.

Nobody disagrees with La Yahweh-Beelzebub; if he or she does, it's off with the wretch's head and out of a job after suitable humiliation and torture. If an administrator earns Yahweh's slightest disapprovel, it's curtains for the poor slob. That's the reason most ROSSAC personnel spend almost their entire working day in the prone position of the sort that the inhabitants of the Oriental emperors required in the Kingdom of the Sun.

I suspect a contretemps has impaled Mr. Jack Davis in this doomed category currently. He will slink away under the customary cover-up tale of retirement; but since he is a mere 32 years of age if he is not 67, this story has received widespread incredulity.

Since Davis was one of the three principals in the torture of Erwin (the others being Earl the Pearl and Hamilton), he should not attract much sympathy. He won't get the kid's here. Villains who come to an awkward end illustrate divine providence is my conclusion. May he get tired of golf and fishing in a trice and be bored out of his mind. May he miss the high drama of the skullduggery that goes on within the walls of ROSSAC and yearn for that adrenalin rush of entering the doors of ROSSAC, terrified of what mood Yahweh is in that day and whether he will escape her wrath if she is on a tear.

Board members' role in this Yahweh choreograph is to sit on the board dais (Candy is reputed to have a cushion for reasons we can only guess but which a proctologist could probably enlighten us with graphs in various hues of red). They hunker on the half-moon podium with their synapses turned off before the meeting begins. They present a flaccid potted-plant tableaux to the audience, which is usually a bunch of administrative Klingon slave pods with glassy eyes and frail resemblance to specimens of humanity. The only time the board members awaken is to punch the "yes' button to ratify anything Yahweh Elia says--even a burp. Yahweh didn't bother to inform them of the 30-million-dollar Spring geegaw she snapped up recently; but nobody complained that she bought it without checking in with the potted plants. Their flaccidity is matched only by their sycophancy. The board is as scared of Yahweh Elia as the administrative Klingon pods are.

The board lets the consent calender conveyor belt roll by it without a shred of curiosity's crossing members' potted-plant countenances. Board ciphers ran for the board to look like important people in the community, to be considered supporters of education by the voting innocents of the area. So far they have fooled the voters.

The voting innocents have only themselves to blame for the capture of the schools and the schools' money by the renegade Yahweh party. My impression is that few board members have educations themselves and that those that do have degrees in marginal subjects. I don't think they read anything but Pitifully Easy Crosswords and the Ladies Home Journal. It's worth speculating that Dr. Lamb may read Playboy in the john at 3 a.m. when his wife is safely asleep. I don't insist that he does, but this activity is a distinct possibility. If I thought it was a real possibility, I would inform his doctor so that he could warn Dr. Lamb about angina spasms, atrial fibrillation, Bundle of His irregularities etc. that come from such untoward stimulation to school board cowboys of his age and heft.

All board members think Elia can strike them dead if they even look at her crossways. Carol Kurdell, on the board for at least a hundred and sixteen years, warns that she has seen this happen more than once.

If teachers or staff utter a statement that contains even a whiff of criticism of the way things are going and if it gets back to Yahweh via her widespread network of bonus-rewarded agents promised jobs in ROSSAC at the next firing, the wretch gets called into Professional Standards for the attentions of La Linda Kipley, who got her graduate training at Aushwitz after she had received a degree in home ec from Saskatchewan Agricultural College and Beauty School. Yahweh Elia recently ordered Elia's husband hired for a job requiring an accounting degree according to the job description. There were a half dozen on the applicant list with this requirement. But La Linda's husband got the job although he has not finished junior high yet and cannot cut his meat himself.

Human Resources director Dan Valdez nodded solemnly when Susan Valdes asked if Kipley Junior was indeed qualified. Valdez turned down all the qualified applicants for fear that Elia Yahweh would snuff his life out. He has damned his soul to liars' hell by having in prominent letters on the Human Resources Web page this knee slapper:

AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER -- School Board Policy 6.01 ensures equal opportunity for all in its personnel policies and practices and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, marital status, disability, or age.

Kipley with Yahweh's instructions hauls those into Professional Standards for various cooked-up crimes they did not commit. These made-up charges doom the wretches to various punishments, the goal of which is to break down their psyches and scramble their brains. A special aim is to rearrange the order of the dura mater, pia, mater, and arachnoid mater. Kipley has gained world-wide fame in the torture racket by perfecting this stunt and bringing the time down to 33 nano seconds for its completion. She gives seminars on request to Professional Standards ghouls and concentration-camp-director wannabes worldwide on the feat.

Ms. Kipley preens her skill at mind games to run the framed truants nuts and will stir up a batch of bechamel sauce in a wash pot with the skull and bones adorning it to dip them into if they do not heel from less severe measures.

The board attorney, who got his job in a no-bid protocol and is not an ornament of the bar, has made noises about naming Ms. Kipley as a Nobel laureate in chemistry for her bechamel-torture concoctions.Widely known is that Le Gonzalez has a crush on Kipley and that she returns the sentiment.. Romance blooms at all seasons in ROSSAC's ding dong dell, and careers advance or fail on the status of the reproductive organs of the administrative goons. Illicit passion thrives when everything else wilts in the ROSSAC Auschwitz atmosphere. Hearts are broken. Divorces are filed. Promotions got by priapic means are stamped by Le Valdez as "Equal Opportunity Couplings."

Observers believe that when Master Linda Kipley gets wind of this mutual passion of attorney and torture dominatrix that he will drop out of junior high in a snit as payback to his unfaithful spouse, who wants a mate of academic distinction to make up for her home-ec bona fides. Certain is that Le Master Kipley will become a pot-smoking bum to aggravate his old lady for her defection to the legal y-chromosome dude.

Reputed is that the Ladies Home Journel will feature the pair in "Can This Marriage Be Saved?" soon and that Tom Gonzalez will be ordered to group therapy by a quorum of born-again Seffner ministers, the which group therapy to be communed with a bunch of the Bay Area's hordes of amorously inflamed attorneys on the brink of sex addiction. Le Tom is destined to flunk the course and have to repeat it. The fellow has always been slow witted whether it be in mental or group-therapy efforts.

I append the following from the Erwin court interrogatory, which cites the names of the school people who had information about the crucifixion of Erwin. They did did not do one thing to stop it. This list will innoculate you to the claim that ROSSAC habitues did not know about the Erwin passion play. That's a bare-faced lie if they claim ignorance. They knew everything about it. They doubtless passed the data around so that the entire school system knew chapter and book. One of the enduring blights on the school system of Hillsborough County is that the entire school system sat silent during the obscenity.

Those who knew about the Erwin case and looked away share the class with the Germans, other Europeans, and even the United States in letting atrocities go on against the Jews while they pretended not to know about what was unfolding before their eyes and in their hearing. That's how six million Jews--men, women, and children--died horrible deaths. I can't tell you how many times I have written rebukes to the publisher of the NYTimes for his making his Jewish reporters anglicize their bylines. The Shultzes are not only socially insecure but also sell-outs of their origins.

I don't think the world will ever top the holocaust obscenity, but the Erwin crucifixion while everybody twiddled thumbs, including the Board and the entire school system, and pretended not to be aware of what was unfolding is an echo of it.

The behavior of the world during the Jewish extermination and the board provided pattern for the school personnel's pretended ignorance of Erwin's crucifixion and show that the human psyche possesses a dark side that can kick in when people think there is the slightest bit of danger to their wellbeing. This is not the admirable demonstrations of humanity history too infrequently records that can emerge at crucial times. And those who protest evil get the label of "crazies" by the moral cowards.

It's no good pretending that such hideous behavior does not exist, as exist it did, at Hillsborough County's school board and administration in the early 90's, even extending to the ranks of teachers and staff who were aware of what was going on and chose not to admit knowledge or do anything such as beating down the doors of the press and raising hell at board meetings about the obscenities of which the human psyche is prone to if nobody speaks up.

Thr current behavior at ROSSAC follows the Erwin paradigm. The administration and board learned nothing from having their hideous deeds exposed to the world in court in the early 90's. The minute the jury and judge ruled in Erwin's favor, the unrepetent ROSSAC habitues assumed the same old same old model of Yahweh-slave behavior. They are slow learners; but once they master a pas de deux, they repeat it robotically ever afterward.

This court interrogatory from Irwin's finally filing a Whistle Blower retaliation law suit against the board and administration shows how widespread the knowledge was of what went on and what cowardice and complicity accompanied it.

Note the board members cited. They include the holdovers Kurdell, Lamb, and Olson who sit on the board dais now. They will swear that they are completely innocent of any knowledge of the Erwin outrage. These promised on the stump to oppose the very obscenities that the Erwin case precipitated. But they sat like stones and let the outrage play out while miming ignorance. They would join a new outrage if Yahweh Elia ever stops trying to retire with a cart load of money and starts in on some really bad behavior. I think she's got it in her. Just as soon as she becomes the first superintendent millionaire, my bet is that we will see new outrages in living technicolor.
