profundities...

Gardening. Crimping the lawns of public parks, with just their
fingers. Not even a pair of scissors.

(...) Been down it before. Most libertarians are opposed to Capital Punishment. Too irreversible. Now, granted, even if you're sentenced to life, you could still die before your time due to some random prisoner or guard, but at least the odds of (...)
