Well if I can't be flippant on a Friday night when can I.

Anyway, arguments.

Its wrong for the state to take human life.

So all the other things (for me) don't need to be raised.

Like crime statistics, did they get the right person etc.

Kevins message was about savage vengeance. Stoning, impaling etc. How can you have an argument with that.
