1. We will, tomorrow,

literally.

2. I imagine we'll keep talking about him, which is what the OP meant

But perhaps we should.

5. That was funny.

I think I peed a little...

[SteppingRazor]

3. Not as long as you keep bringing him up

:evilgrin:

4. I second that. nt

6. I hate it when these current celebrity fad stories of the moment

take over Du, created by the media for insignificant celebrity stories like the girl from Aruba and Scott Petersen and "Tookie", and the latest celebrity trial and on and on.

Who gives a shit about this gossipy tabloid crap, well, I guess a lot do, why I have no idea.

7. Usually I would agree with you

But my feelings about capital punishment are part of who I am as a Democrat. I just can't ignore state-sponsored murder.

[quinnox]

8. I can see that

but I just wish that the media did take the "Tookie" story and turn it into a real debate on the death penalty instead of yet another faddish story.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

11. I agree with you there.

All executions should get the same publicity.

9. Let's talk about Mumia instead. Ohh Lord.

[David Dunham]

14. Does Mumia face the chair? Rendell won't likely pardon him.

10. Skinner, how about a Hot Zone?

A Hot Zone would be for topics that seem to have at least two sides, which are hotly contested. If we're going to tear each other apart, let's do it somewhere else beside GD.

I avoided all the Tookie threads, but did get involved the Alpizar issue. I was pretty dismayed at the hositilities.

12. I don't understand why you don't just ignore those threads.

[porphyrian]

13. Let them fall and don't create more. - n/t
