My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.
If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com
One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.
I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

Theory and Realism
Theoretically, the attempted coup of the President could yield terrible punishments - even a firing squad. Realistically, those most involved will probably skate. It shouldn't be that way, but things could change....we can only hope.
Although it would send a bold message, I'm don't think something as harsh as a hanging would be a good way to punish those convicted of sedition. That's too final, and soon to be forgotten. My suggestion is a long prison term, with an annual mandate the convicted appear on television to read their apology for trying to destroy the United States.
An eye for an eye leads to a blind world.
ReplyDeleteBUT!
If there is no justice?
Everyone loses faith in the system. If that happens, it's all over.
Hand me my cane.

DeleteI like that. But isn't telling the truth cruel and unusual to some?
DeleteProbably, but if their other option is a firing squad at sunrise, I think they'll make the logical choice.
