Mr. seed, I know I do contradict myself here---and often. That's simply because there ar ALWAYS shades of gray involved. Not much is black or white---good or evil in this best of all possible worlds or lives. I can oppose the death penalty when there's the SLIGHTEST chance that someone was not guilty--but not innocent either. And I can, as George Burns used to say, "Say goodnight, G(r)ACEY"! when the city I'm living in at the time digs up body after body after body after body under the house of some fat clown & moron & horror like John Wayne G. I'll even inject the guy myself, if they'd only let me. (And I give what I can to support and be a member of Amnesty International which opposes the death penalty.--No inconsistency to me at all there.)

One man's (person's, individual's, human's, homo sapien's, caucasion's, Negro's, Oriental's, gays's or lesbean's or whatever's) vassssilation is another man's Buddhism. Every coins has two sides---at least. The rainbow has many colors & no shades of gray---unless the dark cloude of chaos flow effortlessly in to rain on our parade.

I'd've gladly killed Hitler, but, like Hamlet, few are certain enough to take those steps early the game when all we've got to go on are the voices is our heads (or dreams in Hamlet's case)--voices which, for us are often officially or media generated.

Good reasons to "vas-ilate"---There's a "VAS DEFERENS" 'tween gettin' screwed & gettin'n pregnant. One's fun--the other's, at least, 9 months long. To some that's like a 9-month sentence. And at the end of every sentence ya get a period! (again)

And Harp, you're beautiful when you're angry! You do mellow me right out! ;-)
