For me capital punishment = cold blooded murder. Two wrongs do not equal right. I'm comfortable with that. I understand that not all people share my view on the subject.
Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Coming late to the conversation, and running off to bed soon anyway, but...
I think there are a lot of people in America who think like MM does. Don't most Americans support the death penalty? And for, as far as I can tell, the same reason. At least many of the people that I know and love would say pretty much the same thing. So although he claims to be a minority voice here, he's actually in the majority.

The status is NOT quo.
I'm all kerfuffled out.
Tea and crumpets. Discuss.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Tea and crumpets. Discuss.
Wait, I get some crumpet? I like this discussion.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I know lots of people that share MM's opinion. People that I care about and respect. I even understand the emotions that drive those opinions. I don't have to agree with them and I don't for the most part. But I know the issue isn't black and white. It's complex and messy and emotional.
I also know, deep down, that I would want to kill (personally, with my own freakin' hands) anyone that did ANYTHING to my child. Even though I know, intellectually, that that would be wrong.
Kristin, is there clotted cream?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
There could be puppies, too.

mmmm...brownies.
That reminds me. I need to make something to take to a friend's dinner tonight. I just don't know whether to make a dessert or a side dish.

The brownies are to celebrate the arrival of the second half of our stuff, which includes the exercise bike. What? It makes sense to me.
I haven't tried one yet, so I don't actually know if I made brownies or made a mess. The trick is always the baking. Our oven has several settings (top and bottom radiant heat, bottom radiant plus fan, fan heat only, etc) and I never know which to use.
I've also made a ton of baby food, done three loads of dishes, two loads of laundry, and scrubbed down all the baby equipment. I'm now going to sit on my butt.
