I've been asked to move to Australia - but as cool as Lashbear is, they only really have 1 good rollercoaster in the entire country.

Discuss.
I think you may have misunderstood. It's not 5 of 12 but 5 of 5. Everyone on the jury will still have to agree that the death penalty is appropriate and the article doesn't say but I bet appeals will still be available.

It would be very interesting to hear the justifications for this.

You.....bet? That's not a bet I would make these days.

Doesn't the fact that you are unsure bother you?

€uro's spiffy remark hits me with humor and horror all at once. The Nazis were able to do what they did because the populace allowed it.

We're nowhere near that yet, but I think it's beyond time to keep track and be ready to lay down our lives if necessary to prevent or protest or simply refuse to live in the fascist state those in power would create.

Every day I become a bit more grateful for my Canadian citizenship as well as a place of residence in Canada. 4 bedrooms, 2 story house. In 3 weeks I can probably sneak everyone in. We're all good friends right?
