State rep to resign key committee post because Globe columnist was mean to him

David305:

A Statute of Limitations requires that a case be brought against an accused or a civil defendant within a reasonable time so that the defendant my prepare an adequate defense and not be inhibited by the passage of time. Fifteen years is a long time. Where were you on March 21, 1996? Who saw you there? Any proof?

Reasonable people disagree on these topics. If you argue in favor of the 15 year Statute that now exists are you a protecting pedophiles or protecting people from being the subject of wrongful allegations and being handcuffed by the passage of time, in preparing a defense.

You are either with us or against us. If you agree with a Statute of Limitations you are pro pedophile. If you disagree as to whether government should be deciding what should be covered by health care insurance you are anti-women. If you think that there should be a economic safety net you are a socialist/communist.

Rep. O'Flaherty keep your position, stand tall. I think that you are being a bit oversensitive, but you are not alone as many good people will not step forward and run because of the constant attacks. What this illustrates most is the laziness of journalists in trying to paint everything with just black and white and the laziness of the voting public in just buying into it.
