I believe in the death penalty!
The parents who chained and padlocked their 13 children should face a death squad!

@SW-User I am very confident if the public were asked they would vote it back in
@nedkelly I am not so confident about that. There have been too many death sentences found to be wrong after DNA testing. Never forget, if they can execute "them" wrongly, they can execute "us" wrongly.

It is my contention, and I stand by it stoutly, that at our age, we have learned SO much stuff and are SO wise, there imply isn't even room in our brains for any more.

So why do I remember the name of the guys that bullied me in 5th grade, but can't remember the name of the guy two cubicles down? Last in, first out?
Exactly. The doorways are blocked. That's why I remember the number of the bus I rode in junior high, but not what day the rent is due.

Congestion.
