Quote of the day:
"If we let passion take over restraint in our legal system we will have a legal system very much like post-revolution France, including daily beheadings based on crowd whim. Sadly a sizable percentage of the public would like to see just that."

I wish I had written that, but it wasn't me.

1. One hopes that this will put an end to much hysteria.
But it probably won't.

Good try though.

2. Oh I don't want to see be-headings. Scarlet "A's" pinned to people would work for me

but the A's don't stand for adulterer.

Seriously though I think some of us need to calm down and some need to get treatment for depression. :shrug:

edit: typo

3. The idea of daily beheadings
has a certain primitive appeal.

4. Great lines from the movies
In Lawrence of Arabia, sheik Feisal (played by Alec Guinness) tells a British officer: "With Major Lawrence, mercy is a passion. With me, it is merely good manners. You may judge which motive is the more reliable."
