"before you ask, I AM serious"
Thank you for affixing this to your posting Silas; I do have a problem with the idea that any sane, humane adult can seriously suggest that the state could try and institutionally execute two ten-year-olds, no matter how heinous their crime - barbarity at its most barbarous, even worse than what they did - they at least had the excuse of being ten-year-old children.
The next timer you're in the company of a ten-year-old I suggest you take a look at him/her and repeat whet you have just written - if I belived in a god, I would ask him to forgive you!
As for the return to capital punishment; perhaps you'd like to write the letters of apology to the fmilies of the Brimingham Six, or the Guildford Four, or the Maguires, or all the others who served long stretches for capital crimes they did not commit - they'd all be dead as Norwegian Blues, left to you.
Sorry - all part of our barbaric past along with Drawing and quartering and bear-baiting.

I suggest you look up the 10 year old murderess Mary Bell - Wiki does a pretty good job on her.
Richie - Little Richie;
My sincere thanks for brightening up what has been a rather uneventful day.
You have made a tired man very happy - or the other way round.

I will never again think of you without getting a warm glow in my... er, member - thank you from the bottom of my.... well... member.
