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

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.
