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? -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

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.

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 ??
