Posthumous pardon

Just one quick question, please. "Doesn't Governor Charlie Crist have anything better to do with our tax payer money than to have his staff research the feasibility of a posthumous pardon of Jim Morrison, the deceased lead singers from the Doors? Jim Morrison was charged with indecent exposure and using profanity during a concert in the 1970's. Governor Crist was quoted as saying about Jim Morrison, "if you have a heart pounding in your chest, that tugs on you" in reference to the death of this singer attempting to clear his name from the incident in the 1970's. If Governor Crist thinks this is a pressing issue then he should also consider the pardon of Janis Joplin for using profanity at Curtis Hixon Hall in the 1970's...
***Please be advised that I have one rule on this sight which is no profanity so I have blocked the comments to this post. To those that replied earlier, this case is approximately 35 years old and happened at a time when profanity was not permitted in public. Our tax money is being wasted at the hands of Charlie Crist with his attempt to pardon a rock and roll star that clearly set out to shock the public of that era and in my opinion, is a clear case of pandering on the governor's part.
