MASUVV unavailable for comment. (Moms Against Sport Utility Vehicle

to the POS that drove the mom and kids in to the lake. If you want to go,
go. Leave others out of it -- just do it to yourself.


Actually it's exceedingly common for a distraught and depressed parent
to take their life and their kids along with them. Driving into a
lake seems to be a common choice of methods since you can take out the
whole family with one sudden impulsive move. Drowning is ranked as
10th most common method of suicide. First, of course, is gunshot.


That is fact. "Suicide Is Leading Cause Of Gun Death"

We should just outlaw idiots, then put a bounty on them like any
other vermin.

Why didn't they outlaw indians from carrying more than six arrows,
and institute a total ban the ownership or use of a tomahawk or a lance?

There was an A.P. news article in the newspaper yesterday about
someone in Sweden attacking a school with a sword and killing and
wounding some teachers and students.

And, can you imagine? Those nasty Swedish cops shot the poor man!
Inhuman cruelty! Why, if such a thing happened in America the police
would be put on trial for firing their gun inside the city limits, or
some such thing.

No. Any trial would be for firing and missing the suspect and hitting innocent bystanders instead.

Yes, if nothing else executing criminals thins the ranks somewhat.

Singapore, for example, has a law that for possession of certain
drugs in an amount of more than a very small specific amount the
penalty is hanging. Under Singapore law a condemned person may appeal
to the President of the Republic who may, issue a pardon, require a
re-trial, or simply ignore the request.

For possession of a smaller than the specified amount it is a term in
prison and at last look the prisoners still slept on the floor of
their cell, on a straw mat.

Singapore has relatively little crime. and drug use is rated as one of
the lowest in the world. For both cannibals and opiates the rate is
0.004%. The U.S. rates 13.7 and 0.57% I believe.

I almost fell off my chair over that one. Singapore has a lot of
policies that make our skin crawl, but cannibalism sounds a little
over the top. d8-)

To the best of my knowledge the British army operated only in the
northern side of Kalimantan Island, or Borneo as they called it. I had
an ex Gurkha officer work for me that served there, possibly as an
intelligence officer as the British Army had sent him to language
school and he spoke perfect Indonesian. He said that they certainly
did penetrate the Indonesian side of the island but the tribes of
Borneo/Kalimantan are famous as head hunters.

In Iran Jaya there are certainly a lot of tribes that still, likely,
eat people but I'm not sure if they would have known what a communist
is.

IIRC he was observing from the ridge line. The tribe that escorted him
up warned about head hunters on the other side, but after those 'head
hunters' captured him they told him it was all propaganda.

Yes, if nothing else executing criminals thins the ranks
somewhat.

Singapore, for example, has a law that for possession of certain
drugs in an amount of more than a very small specific amount the
penalty is hanging. Under Singapore law a condemned person may
appeal
to the President of the Republic who may, issue a pardon, require
a

For possession of a smaller than the specified amount it is a

prison and at last look the prisoners still slept on the floor of
their cell, on a straw mat.

Singapore has relatively little crime. and drug use is rated as
one
of
the lowest in the world. For both cannibals and opiates the rate
is
0.004%. The U.S. rates 13.7 and 0.57% I believe.


They have to keep the cannibals in solitary confinement. ;-)

I read a story by a British jungle operative in Indonesia who wrote
that the tribes accused each other of cannibalism to scare off
unwanted outsiders. The so-called cannibal tribe that captured him
treated him well when they found out he was fighting the Communists.

To the best of my knowledge the British army operated only in the
northern side of Kalimantan Island, or Borneo as they called it. I
had
an ex Gurkha officer work for me that served there, possibly as an
intelligence officer as the British Army had sent him to language
school and he spoke perfect Indonesian. He said that they certainly
did penetrate the Indonesian side of the island but the tribes of
Borneo/Kalimantan are famous as head hunters.

In Iran Jaya there are certainly a lot of tribes that still, likely,
eat people but I'm not sure if they would have known what a
communist
is.

IIRC he was observing from the ridge line. The tribe that escorted him
up warned about head hunters on the other side, but after those 'head
hunters' captured him they told him it was all propaganda.

While that may have said that the idea apparently still lingers in
their memory as "A conflict between ethnic Malay and Dayak groups on
the one side, and ethnic Madurese migrants on the other, erupted in
1999 in Sambas and Singkaweng, West Kalimantan, causing 78,000
Madurese to flee from their homes to the provincial capital
Pontianak".

I was told, by some foreign "oil people", that had been there, the
reason that they fled was because of the piles of heads the Dayak's
were making. :-)

"Cannibals" should have been spelled "cannabis".

Job creation and destruction are both relentless.
The small difference between the two is what we call prosperity.

No doubt there are active or were active shrunken head hunters -
Two tribe collect from each other.. But the book was confused with
them the author was photographing the members of the tribes and
gathering facial designs in a trace of whence they came from...

That sounds like the Dayak tribes in both the northern and southern
parts in Kalimantan.

There is an old guy, been kicking around the oil business in Asia for
years, married to a Dayak woman and they sometimes visit her family
and stay in the long house. He said that there are still heads hanging
in the rafters :-)
