Sorry, bwp, but I'm unlikely to change my views barring some major
counter-evidence: ggs is right: It's *wrong* for the *state* to take a
life, period!! I just don't find it quite as easy as some seem to that
the death penalty can be so easily dismissed.  In the last 5 years in
Illinois, we've released three "wrongfully conficted" (ie, not guilty)
types from death row. I obviously disagree with Clinton's views on
this subject, but to his credit, he doesn't duck the issue and fall
back on "kill 'em all...."!  To his credit, he has publicly displayed
his ambivalence with the ethics of the DP. It must be comforting to be
so certain of the correctness of your beliefs when a life--sometimes
an innocent one--is at stake. So much for reasoned public dialogue.

Well, no.....Dworkin is NOT homophobic, at least in the usual sense of
the word, being against or fearing homosexuals.....if you take homo to
mean "men" [in the non-"mankind"] sense, then yes.....but not the usual
meaning.  Maybe you mean male-phobic or androphobic or soemthing else.

Isn't frotteurism deriving sexual pleasure by rubbing against
somebody? I wasn't aware that it is officially an illness and
not just a behavior.  I believe the classic example of the
inappropriate expression of this behavior is the people who
rub up against strangers on subway and railroad cars.

I read an article a few years back about how Japan was
trying to deal with frotteurs.  The cars are packed so tight
the victims can neither see nor escape the perps.

Why?  I am really puzzled by this.  I like them both but never linked them.
Mostly because Jodie Foster is my height, and just very small (I used to see
her around when she was in college), and Anne Harwell is not small in any

Good grief, Gilbert, schools out in the shinnery must have been a lot more

objects, mutilated her both before and after death, etc.

She was simply working at the counter of the dry cleaners in a "nice" LA

So it means nothing. You know, a words-l posting could carry at least one

The moment you start "Life is ..." it ceases to be unknown. There is, in

The "g" stands for nothing, I suppose. Excuse me while I sneer with three
