Good thoughts there, Terry K. I would like to add a little humorous aside here, which is as follows...

I am violently opposed to capital punishment, and I think that all those in favor of it ought to be shot! :-) Give 'em their own medicine, I say! (And after that, declare a permanent moratorium, of course...) This simple remedy would reduce the world's population substantially (at least half of them, I figure), and human and natural conditions would be greatly improved, I should think...

(I hope you all noticed the :-)...)
