" Sad that we live in a society where realism has been demoted to pessimism, as is apparent in my detractors "glass is half empty" statement. I never said that most people are evil, I simply said that many of those who are evil wrap themselves in garb that make others less suspicious. That's why whenever a serial killer is caught, the people who knew them usually are shocked and make comments like "he seemed like a nice, normal guy". I'm sure there are exceptions, but you can't deny it happens a lot. "

" You must be a lot of fun at parties with your "glass half empty" approach to life. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I still believe the most people are genuinely good by nature, but those people don't make headlines.....and I take this approach to life even being a parent of one of Jon White's students when he got released at Colene Hoose back in March of 2005!

" I in no way know whether this guy is guilty or not, but I do know that people are way too trusting with their children when someone claims to be a "good Christian", and way too slow to acknowledge that something wrong may be afoot for the same reason. Time to get a clue, people. Just because someone presents themselves as pious doesn't mean they are.

People who believe otherwise could use a little more...cynicism. "

" Re: I wonder... You have too time on your hands! "

" I am beginning to think he dropped Pelo because of the financial aspect. Look at the Springfield attys who quit when financial issues arose in the Pelo case. I am not surprised that this trial got a postponement at all. They want to have all the evidence ready so there is no chance on an appeal to say evidence was witheld. "

" It seems funny that the attorney Steve Skelton dropped the case for pelo, the cop accused of rape and home invasion. Saying that he had health problems. And now he is on this case. Neither one of which has gone to trial yet. So how can he do this trial and not Pelo's? "
