Glad to, Jessie. You do excellent work.

Yes, I think that you're correct.

That's for the topping. Chocolate peanut butter goes inside.

I understand that point of view. But I think that public contempt of criminals--in addition to formal punishment handed down by fair courts--is one of the markers of a just society.

Sometimes I feel like violently rampaging against my alarm clock.

That's a good question.

It's not just the stupidity. They put complete strangers in fear for their lives. What did they ever do to deserve that? This isn't so much a prank as being a jerk to strangers who have done them no wrong.

I don't think that the prankster should be executed. I'm saying that it's reasonable to draw on someone who gives every appearance that he's about to attack you with a chainsaw. That's not capital punishment. That's defending yourself against a ghastly threat that has taken you by surprise.

I'm not cheerfully indifferent to that possibility--just indifferent.

Yes. And hopefully an upgraded model has a catheter to catch urine and recycle it, too.

I remember that one.
