Indeed. Personally, I'm for the death penalty, as long as the society has democratically agreed to it for any particular crime. That's how democracy works...if the people want something, they vote for it; if they don't want it, they vote against it. That said, I don't think I'd be voting for the death penalty for parking violations; even though it would remove a lot of clutter from the streets. ;-) > On Feb 18, 3:19 am, Lee <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > This is a worry Fids.
