SHHHH! While we listen to words of wisdom from a wise man.
Conscience is the light of the Soul that burns within the chambers of our psychological heart. It is as real as life is. It raises the voice in protest whenever anything is thought of or done contrary to the righteousness. Conscience is a form of truth that has been transferred through our genetic stock in the form of the knowledge of our own acts and feelings as right or wrong. A virtuous and courageous person can alone use the instrument of conscience. He or she can alone hear the inner voice of the soul clearly. In a wicked person this faculty is absent. The sensitive nature of his / her conscience has been destroyed by sin or corruption. Hence he or she is unable to discriminate right from wrong. Those who are leading organizations, business enterprises, institutions and governments should develop this virtue of the ability to use their own conscience. This wisdom of using the clean conscience will enable them to enjoy the freedom.

Parole approval expected as California releases former 1970s radical on March 17

Sara Jane Olson, the former Symbionese Liberation Army member turned St. Paul housewife and actress, appears likely to reprise her local roles as soon as she is released from a California prison March 17.
Unlike a year ago, when Olson was released early because of a prison clerical error, her prison sentence will be complete at that time, officials said Friday.
A California corrections official said he expected Olson would return to St. Paul.
"When she was mistakenly released, we had gotten prior approval" from Minnesota, said Gordon Hinkle, a spokesman for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
Olson was about to board a Twin Cities-bound plane at Los Angeles International Airport in March 2008 when she was detained and sent back to the Central California Women's Facility in Chowchilla.
Ramsey County will decide Monday whether Olson, 62, qualifies to serve her three-year supervised parole here based on having "resident family" in St. Paul, said Chris Crutchfield, a spokesman with the county Community Corrections Department.
Olson's husband, Gerald "Fred" Peterson, lives in St. Paul's Highland Park neighborhood and works as an emergency room physician at United Hospital in St. Paul. The couple has three daughters.
Shari Burt, a spokeswoman for the Minnesota Department of Corrections, said that if an inmate has resident family here, the parole transfer is automatically accepted.
Inmates in any state can request to be transferred to another state after they're released from prison, Burt said. The state that accepts the parolee takes responsibility to supervise parole and make sure the parolee complies with required conditions.
Olson must pay for the costs of the supervision that Minnesota provides, Hinkle said. Minnesota will make periodic reports to California, which will keep Olson on its caseload.
If she violates conditions of parole — which have yet to be determined, Hinkle said — California would determine the consequences, if any.
Burt said Minnesota received Olson's request for a parole transfer Feb. 9. Minnesota technically has 45 days from that date to accept or reject the request. It is Ramsey County's job to investigate the claims Olson has made regarding family she has here, Burt said.
"I don't anticipate any problems with responding to California before" the 45 days are up, Burt said.
Olson, who changed her name from Kathleen Soliah, was a member of the Symbionese Liberation Army in the 1970s. The radical California group, which became internationally known for kidnapping media heiress Patty Hearst in 1974, also plotted in 1975 to kill Los Angeles police officers by planting bombs under squad cars. And members robbed a bank near Sacramento in 1974, shooting to death customer Myrna Opsahl in the process.
Soliah was charged with conspiracy on the cop-killing plan and for participating in the bank robbery and murder as the getaway driver.
But she went underground for more than 24 years — spending most of that time in St. Paul under her new identity: Sara Jane Olson.
Olson hid in plain sight, married Peterson and raised three daughters in their home on Hillcrest Avenue while she acted in local theaters and supported progressive causes.
Investigators caught up with Olson in 1999 after her case was featured on the TV's "America's Most Wanted."
At first, she denied involvement in the SLA or their activities — claiming to be the victim of a witch hunt by officials. Her friends and supporters rallied around her, sold cookbooks of her favorite recipes and held fundraisers to amass $1 million in bail.
But Olson ended up pleading guilty to both charges. In her 2002 plea hearing on the bank case, she tearfully recounted her role in the crime, saying, "I will be sorry until the day I die."
She was sentenced to 14 years for the bombing and six years for second-degree murder in the robbery. The sentences were to run concurrently.
In all, she will have served a little more than seven years of her 14-year sentence, receiving time off for good behavior.
Phone messages left for Olson's husband, daughters and attorney were not returned by Friday night.

Why not, every other damn felon from all over the country comes here to take dadvantage of our generosity!
They can open up the city to every liberal murderer and crook. The city has a lot of places to house them in. All they have to do is let developers like Chuck or Mangner's friends buy and fix Cat-3 houses. I'd expect Bostrom and Helgen will be very supportive of these measures.
Kathy Lantry doesn'tr like felons living in the city. I wonder why Lantry is not in the news making a big deal about this felon?

Maybe Lantry likes girls over men, this is St.Paul and DFL supports things like that.
Sara Jane Olson was never married legally, she used a fake name.
Everything about this case is Democratic, and will they make a movie next playing herself as what accord just to make St.Paul look like it is.
We harbor criminals here and think nothing of it, the illegal's and the gangsters of the 1930's.
I see that the crime in St.Paul will rise soon, $50.00 air fare one way to or from Chicago.
What's that.
The influx of people getting their Welfare checks here and there will be made easier by flying, rather then driving.
"Gangs" and "Drug Dealing" and "Murders" will go up, but that's fine with the Twin Cities as long as they their spend money here.
St.Paul is doomed.
