NOTHING but showing how busy it is on NOTHING each day over the 24 hour period. We had 6123 views one 24 hour period October 26-27, 2019.
Not sure where these are coming from but they could be an offshoot of my now 28.8 or so year 224 613 Project which does connect with many universities, law schools, various associations, law firms, high schools and the like. I started using these two numbers in late 1992 after starting as subject #613 in a 17 week study on stress on the unemployed conducted by the University of California, San Francisco Health Sciences Campus. The researcher/interviewer thought this was a good cause especially after I showed her various letters I had received up to then. One was from the Law Librarian of Congress whom I had worked under when she was Law Library Director at the U of MN Law School. She had written that I needed to get as many law libraries as possible involved for victims/survivors' needs for practical information to be met. And that the Law Library of Congress could not pressure individual law libraries to get involved. I had written the Librarian of Congress in 1991 and she answered the letter I sent him in mid-1992. 2-24 is my birthday and the day when Michelle Mitchell had been murdered near the University of Nevada, Reno campus. The co-eds at UNR were very scared during the three years it took to solve this murder and it turned out in 2014 that they railroaded the wrong woman just to give the Reno, NV community closure. A DNA test had shown that a serial killer stalking the San Mateo CA area in early 1976 had with very high credibility murdered Michelle Mitchell. I did try to get as many libraries involved in this as possible from 1991 onward. It is about a grass roots kind of movement to put checks-and-balances on the legal system by empowering survivors/victims of crimes of all kinds. It is hard though often to determine just who the victim/survivor in each case is. The woman wrongly prosecuted for Michelle Mitchell's 2-24-1976 murder is certainly a survivor/victim.
This could be about something else entirely. I am not sure. I have communicated with hundreds of thousands of people though since mid-1991. And this is a very worthy cause but gets more and more complicated with developments in new technology.
What could Talk of the Villagers do? Easy. Use your life experiences to gauge how practical materials in your home town libraries and sheriffs' and other law enforcement agencies would be from the eyes of victims/survivors looking for practical information. Local contexts are critical. What's in your hometown library? Do some Googling and use Facebook.
