You can be as harsh as you want, as harsh as the Germans at Lidice; or as harsh as the British were when faced with Gandhi; even to the ultimate degree, (the one that is adopted with religious relish by the good folks in Oaklahoma and Texas) ... but it won't work, other than as a very temporary band aid.
Anyhow ... we have a real nice day happening; so I'm off to enjoy it.  |
the old ways may not work but at least if ya "Top" murdering scum, theres one Less on our streets to do it again, how many re-offend after release?
