Are you for real?


He's humane. *How can you triumph in the death of these people? *Do

Are youo really sure about that ?
What makes you think they wouldnb;t slit yuort through for teh price
of a copper wire ?
Theer's only one thing we can be sure of and that is they will nbever
reoffend.


*Even if there is no sob story behind their lives,
they were just in it to make some quick money, and had no family that
cared about them there is no reason to gloat.


Maybe not gloat but what if they;'d caused an accident pileup or
servre delays.
What if that delay meant someone dying because a surgeon didn;t get to
the hospital or time
or everyone else gets delayed because they want to make some quick
money.


"No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the
Continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a
manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes
me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know
for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee." John Donne.
