News is just breaking that authorities have arrested a second grade teacher, 41-year-old John Mark Karr, in Bangkok Thailand. Law enforcement officers say that the man has confessed to the murder of Jon Benet, and that he has given details that only could have been known by the killer.
If this is true, I am drawn back to Dr. Sanity's discussion today about denial and displacement, especially displacement. The same people who today are filling the airwaves with their hatred and utter contempt for President Bush, were filling the airwaves back in 1996 with their hatred and utter contempt for Jon Benet's parents. These media stars got themselves on national television, and increased their local listening audience significantly. Mrs. Ramsey died recently from ovarian cancer. Do you suppose they will now apologize to Mr. Ramsey? Not a chance.
