How do you feel about rape?

Rabid animals; prosecute, incarcerate. Shoot them sometimes. Defend innocence enthusiastically.

I really want to read that. I wish it were on Kindle. Batty, what was that site again, that library one?
Sorry Hawk: for some reason it didn't take the other quote, the one about two causes for poverty. All I was saying is that it isn't the case (or wasn't) that people are just born poor and then it's their own fault they can't get out of poverty, but that the haves in society keep the have-nots down. I think that's a valid enough argument, is it?
