I don't see a way around that. Your tax dollars are paying for the
care of rapists (and all other less disgusting criminals) in prison as
well. That doesn't mean we should kill them all.

I'm not sure how right you have that. I know that Israel has made

Israeli soldiers. But I'm pretty sure that those Palestinian
prisoners haven't been convicted terrorists, much less have killed
anyone. I think they're in prison for minor offenses. If they're

are the only crimes that make me think about the death penalty, and
one of the few to which I would give life without parole.

We don't need to go to war in the middle east to protect the

Actually, (though I hate to lend any creedence to this nonsense about

that time (1979 - 80) and DID notice that some of the vocalizations of

done on her recordings. Though I doubt it was intentional.

"I have no comment on that." Some of these assistants - Green,

If he was trying to say that he did not believe in the existence of
cancer, he was definitely bullshitting. Lennon's friend Richard Ross,
with whom he sailed and met Alexa Grace, was dying of cancer at the
