Re: OT - I may be in the minority

Around here they used to put them in orange jumpsuits and take them out
to the roadways and they would pick up trash (with guards standing by).
I doubt they were the kind who were flight risks, though. I haven't
seen that for a long time (but then I seldom leave the house anymore so
that MIGHT be why). <G>

Moussaoui is the best one. He would have been a martyr to his cause if
given the death penalty, and a quick death is too good for him.

This way, this 37-year-old man has to spend the rest of his life, and I
hope he lives to 100, sitting in a prison with no hope of parole. I
just wonder what the other prisoners will think of him and how they
will treat him.

Am I really in the minority in thinking this way? Listening to the
media reports, I'm starting to think I am.
