Why do you take my words out of context.  I stated I had no agenda towards
Richardson, now you make it a lesson in life.  Play the game with
Richardson....

I never said it was bad.  As you stated, we all judge but the key at what level
do we take that judgement. Richardson has taken it to a level where he's judge,
jury and executioner... and personally speaking, not a very good one but he has
that right.

Why is it you always go off on a tangent with something you think is important
in a discussion? You, as well as Richardson, know exactly why I used that
reference.  Try working up a discussion when talking ab out Cervantes' version.

The right to be gay and the right to same sex marriage?  Why should you ask
such a  question? 

With regard to your statement, It takes a nominal effort on one's part to
understand if it is indeed harmful to another. Laws have been structured to
help allieviate this burden on society.

With regard to your "injection", I agree, there should be no capitol
punishment.  Why should anyone be put in that situation where they must live
with the fact they MAY have killed another human being.
