Sounds like you're promoting a business.  So I guess this makes you a
raving capitalist, eh? Umm, I dunno, but capitalism seems very, uhhh,
"Republican", no?

That's fairly apparent.  Are you still a teenybopper?  You sound like
one.

Did they install whipping posts at the local high schools, or what?

Oh my Gawd. You mean they actually tried to stop scofflaws from running
red lights, and perhaps endangering other people's lives?  How
oppressive.  What nerve!! Maybe the folks running the red lights had a
hot date with a cold beer, and it couldn't wait.

What gall.  The average citizen should be accustomed to rolling megawatt
boomboxes belting out the (c)rap music by now.  Civility, what a
concept!!

Or setting cars on fire, which seems to be a hobby of young and dumb
these days.

Corporal punishment in schools.  Gosh how awful! They'll probably expect
the students to behave themselves next.  Gee, how could anyone who's
serious about learning maintain his sanity, with the students behaving
and all.

Or they'd put the little dirtbags who assault teachers behind bars.

Do you hear voices? Do you talk to imaginary friends? Who the hell is
the "they" who made you buy a TV or remote control?  I know plenty of
folks who own neither.

Sure, today a spanking, tomorrow the Third Reich.  I'm sure anyone can
see the connection.

All right!! Works for me.  If you're a murderer, why should the state be
required to support your worthless hide until you die of old age?

In dictatorships, people are executed for political opposition to the
status quo.  In Texas, the people who were executed murdered others,
sometimes in the process of committing other heinous crimes, such as
torture and rape.  They got their just desserts, so to speak.

You mean they're actually punishing prisoners?  How awful.  They should
let 'em riot anytime they want. I'm sure many prisoners on the chain
gang would agree with me...

Or we could just read your insane blatherings on the Usenet.
