The "Human Rights" folks don't get nearly as het up about a life sentence,
as compared to a death sentence. Doesn't bring in as many contributions or
get as much publicity for them.



So, you're saying that people concerned about human rights shouldn't be too
concerned about those in prison?

I think what I said was pretty clear. But I'm sure you'll insist on the
last
word.



I'm sure I'll insist that you answer my question before you take your marble
and depart. BTW, what does "het" mean?

It's "het up." Het by itself means nothing. To get "all het up" is to get all
worked up over something trivial.


Past tense of heat = heated, het, het up ??
pt of meet = met, met up
pt of say = said
pt of weave = wove
pt of speak = spoke, spoke up, spake
pt of break = broke, brake ??
pt of brake = braked
pt of shine = shone, shined, shined up
pt of cleeve = cloven, cleft, cleeved ???
pt of slide = slid
pt of hide = hid , hid up ??

There's nowt so funny/queer/weird as folks....

It would make sense for Jon to have the last word, since you've run of
valid rebuttals.

Isn't there something in the Bible that exhorts us to visit those in
prison?



Don't read it regularly, so I can't answer. However, we are (or should be)
judged by how we treat the least of us.

Hmmm, could be. However remember, a sadist is just a masochist who obeys
the Golden Rule.
