About myself. My name is Morris Henry Riddle Jr. I was born Oct 4th 1932 and never been charged with a mistermeanor let alone a felony. Never taken the TEST nor will I.

My intent is not to offend anyone. Pissing contests serve no one. Here are some of my beliefs:

If I apply for employment at the FBI, CIA, Secert Service or the DOE, i would expect nothing less from my Government than a microscope up my ass. A complete and thorough back round check that would discover my grandfathers favorite drink. Such a search would reveal whether i ran moonshine in the 50s or smoked dupe in the 60s. After the facts are known during my interview if I make a denial that you guys know to be fact, than I don't deserve the job. If I admit to a youthful indiscretion than its up to the agency to decide if they want my services or not. No hard feelings and I'll shake your hand on the way out. On the other hand if I were to be hooked up to a box and called a liar after being truthful the polygrapher would probably end up on the floor.

As for the coppers using the polygraph as a tool to induce an admission from a crook, who gives a shit. However, with fingerprints, DNA and other forensic evidence do you really need the polygraph? Or is it just a last resort? 

Now if I'm wrong here please correct me but it seems to me that the polygraph depends on the respondents belief that the "box" will detect deception. This preception has been generated by a massive misinformation campaign sanction by our Government and the media.

The facts, as i understand them, is that " Science is unable to correlate physiology to a specfic emotion" meaning the results are equivocal.

My fingerprints found at the crime scene, my DNA found in the rape victim, the groves on a bullet that were produced by the barrel of my gun, this is unequivocal evidence.

Calling me deceptive merely by my physiological reactions to a so called relevant question is nothing less than an affront.



Just an old Dog expanding intellect.

Although a number of factors were involved, the key one is the discovery that many other innocent persons have shared my experience, and that such abuse is ongoing.

They're so telling, these little tantrums by Herr Batrube. The arrogance of the citizen peons! "How DARE they question us!" he squeaks mightily. Herein lies the Big Picture Bruce Swain alludes to so often (yet never seems able to articulate): THEY have the power, they want to keep the power, we are taking that capricious power away from them for the good of all. That upsets them. That makes them think we want to wear their badge, when all we want is the abolishment of the pseudo-scientific fraud of polygraphy, a travesty of a sham that has never caught a spy, has enabled actual spies to permanently alter our intelligence gathering and distribution infrastructure, ruined the lives of countless citizens, sent and kept good men in jail, enabled sex offenders to roam free while castigating the innocent as predators... and the only thing they can come up with is a snippet of a sentence from the NAS report on which to hang their fortunes and future paychecks.

It's funny, the only people these days who are stupid enough to believe polygraphy is anything BUT voodoo science seem to be the polygraphers themselves. Looks like we have a new demographic from which we may draw for jury pools, eh b.m.?

Rosa Parks wanted to sit in the front of the bus. In refusing to be relegated to the back of the bus, she unwittingly triggered a civil rights movement that changed society. Who knows what was on her mind that day? I doubt she envisioned what would happen in the months and years to come-- she just knew she was tired of being treated like a second-class citizen, was fed up with it in fact, and wasn't going to take it anymore. Would you make the same crass insults to Ms. Parks as you do to George? For you to argue motivation for becoming involved rather than the substance of the debate is a specious tactic that reveals the hollow nature of the merits of your side of the argument.

Altruism is rarely if ever the sole motivating factor in progress. One group of people oppressing another group of people usually is. Do you know why the Holland Tunnel was built? Not for the free and open movement of peoples between states (altruistic), but because New Jersey farmers were sick and tired of the oppressive barge-tariffs their goods were getting slammed with by the NYC government (greed). 

Edward Archbald fought back with a vengeance when a drunk British soldier-- clanging his sword against his Boston barracks wall to see the pretty sparks fly-- decided Mr. Archbald would be a more enjoyable target. In simply fighting for his life Mr. Archbald initiated a series of events that resulted in the first armed conflict of the American Revolution. I guess that makes the inhabitants of Boston a bunch of whiners. If Batman were there, he'd be exhorting them to turn in their rifles and quit stirring up trouble. "Hey what's the matter, Mr. Archbald? Were you turned down for enlistment in the British Army? You're such a jerk Eddie!"

Hey asswipe, the concept that the founding of our country was a direct result of colonists refusing to pay a stamp duty on 'every piece of vellum, or parchment, or sheet or piece of paper, on which shall be ingrossed, written or printed, any declaration, plea, replication, rejoinder, demurrer, or other pleading, or any copy thereof, in any court of law within the British colonies and plantations in America' is arguably legitimate. How about that? Some greedy printers got fed up with being taxed to death, and the end result is the greatest republic in history. I guess those Founder dudes suck because they were more interested in keeping what they had earned than with obeying what was the Colonial version of your precious 'Federal Policy'.

Do you get where I'm going with this, you petty tyrant? In this current debate and battle, you are the moral equivilant of the bus driver trying to shove a poor black woman to the rear. You are the moral equivalent of the drunken British soldier playing Pin The Tail on The Citizen. You are the despot. You are the Good German soldier. It's ok, Batman, we know you're just following orders.

If the end result of someone vindicating their integrity by forming a website that gets the word out that the tool that was used to arbitrarily deny him his own personal pursuit of happiness is no tool at all but rather a clumsy weapon that has done infinitely more harm than good....... then I for one am fine with that.

In conclusion, each time you post your little jibes, your admissions that the only reason you're here is to prevaricate and insult, you clarify that much more to the disinterested third parties who read these discussions that the polygraph is a dangerous thing when entrusted to creeps like yourself. Have a super great day, b.m.

People everywhere enjoy believing things that they know are not true. It spares them the ordeal of thinking for themselves and taking the responsibility for what they know. - Brooks Atkinson

DAY TWO OF THE TWOBLOCK CHALLENGE

Batman

You missed the most important question.

Do you believe our elected officials, legislators, AG's, DA's and appointed officials i.e. judges, should have to pass the polygraph in order to assume or hold their office? What percentage do you think would pass?

Hey Bud, I doubt if your tax bill would amount to 5% of mine. See, some of us don't have to lie in dealing with our subjects or OUR government. When I make a mistake, it costs ME. NOT DEDUCTABLE. Government corruption also costs ME!! The deal making in our State Houses and Washington D. C. is corrupt. As a Federal LE, go polygraph them and put their asses in jail. Maybe that would cure your "red ass" and you wouldn't feel it necessary to call people names. 

SUPPOSITORY Bud SUPPOSITORY!!!!
