Now I don't normally like to post here in debate, but the local story
about the 10 year old boy mauled to death by a tiger was giving me
nightmares last night. As dreams would go, this debate item somehow
entered the picture. It occured to me that if it were my son taunting

Well, hopefully now I can sleep again. Writing things down usually
helps when I dream about tricky math problems or software algorithms
so my work is done here. Thanks for listening.
