I pretty much agree with what Dave said about capital punishment, so I won’t bother restating it.
You know what is really asinine? Smoking. I ran into a friend of mine yesterday, and we hung out for a while. Actually, I was walking to the middle school to watch the Seniors vs. Juniors girls football game. Yeah, that’s right–I had nothing else to do. My friend was driving there and stopped to give me a ride (even though we were already at the parking lot). As soon as we park, I see him take a pack of cigarettes out of somewhere. He proceeded to “light up” as we walked to the game. Luckily, I refrained from smacking his face off. He started smoking while he was in the Republic of Georgia on this exchange program, supposedly. I asked why he started. “Because cigarettes were fifty cents a pack.” Okay. I have some depleted uranium that I can let you have for a quarter an ounce. It really bothers his girlfriend (and a lot of his other friends) that he smokes. So he hides it from her. After he’d smoked enough to kill a horse, he said to me, “By the way, can you do me a favor? Don’t tell [friend] or [girlfriend] that I smoke.” Can you do me a favor? How about you don’t put me in that position? How about you do yourself a favor and quit the cancer sticks? Hiding things from friends is not cool at all. And here I am, omitting names to protect the guilty. Not that they wouldn’t know what I was talking about if they were to read this. But nobody does read this, apparently, so I’m safe.
Yesterday was the last day of school and I’m bored already.
