I just happened to watch a very interesting Frontline last night entitled "The Execution". Keep an eye out for this PBS program in your area. If you cannot receive it check out www.pbs.org And now here's my 2 cents, sense, scents, for those of you who think that capital punishment is some sort of justice. The lives of my mother's best friend, her grandaughter and my cousin Michael were, are and will always be worth much more than the life of anyone who could take a life. Capital punishment is just a psychological band-aid for crime. If we were truly serious about stopping crime and saving lives we would stop it before it starts.

Hard to beat 3 days of music for $50! Falcon Ridge camping tickets (which become bracelets when you arrive) are required for all campers. There is no "per tent" charge, or at least there hasn't been one in the past. There has always been security that asks you to show your bracelets as you drive up the hill to the camping sites, but people are basically free to just walk up the hill to the tents. It's a pretty easy-going festival, so the honor system comes into play in some areas.

My boyfriend (6'5" and 380 pounds) was one who was discouraged, and told loudly "NEVER!!! touch the stage" by this one particular asshole, who turned around to give away both setlists he picked up by fighting off fans, to young girls. I wrote about him in my review as the one stage hand ass who traded setlists for sexual favors. I saw him hanging around with the "groupies" after the show talking and (I assume) trying to get dates. I have an inkling that he discouraged MALE fans particularly, assuming that they were going to turn around and get something from the girls present in exchange for it. When he came down on the floor, though, Jason's size was *obviously* intimidating to him. Arabel The chick with that guy who looks like Jerry from ER ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Feb 1999 22:43:06 -0600 From: Chewbacca Subject: Re: capital punishment I know this is a dying thread, and I plan to contribute no further than this final message. TO those who will say criminals can be reformed, I offer up several studies which show convincingly that there are chemical and physical differences in the minds of many repeat criminals of all varieties. My next-door neighbor was part of one such study, and while his trends never leaned to anything more serious than theft, there was also no definitive cure for him. To those who say capital punishment is immoral slaughter -- yes. You're right. But isn't that what they did to their victims? This has nothing to do with pro-choice or political correctness. Every year, inmates get college degrees FREE OF CHARGE which I personally cannot afford because of the simple fact that I'm not incarcerated. This angers me. My tax dollars are keeping the very man who killed my fiance alive. He killed in cold blood. If it were up to me, I'd have killed him in a slow, torturous method. However, capital punishment would guarantee a speedy death. I am violently pro-choice. I've lived through it. I am also violently pro-capital punishment. I've lived through it. I challenge anyone else who HAS been personally faced with such decisions to fail to understand my point of view. I'm not saying *all* murderers should die. Multiple murderers. Mass murderers. Not the guy who accidentally drove his truck into the side of a schoolbus, suffers a nervous breakdown, and never works again because he can't bear to get out of bed in the morning and face himself. Not the father that beats the living shit out of the man who raped his daughter. But the man who sends a truckload of explosives into a building full of people for no reason. The cold murder which was planned so well it couldn't help but kill several, if not hundreds of people. So, this is my rant. Lynch me if you will, flame me if you're up to it. You *will* ultimately get that which you deserve. Arabel ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V3 #140 ********************************************
