Happy Pasch. It's been a long, long time. Shema Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu Adonai Echad. "Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God! The LORD is One!" and, "Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God — the LORD alone." Always think of you. PEACE Hi sweet girl. Happy Pasch. It’s been a long, long time.

Shema Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu Adonai Echad.
“Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God! The LORD is One!” and,

Always think of you.

Behave yourselves! Or Miss Angela is going to have to take you both to the "naughty room." And Slaveboy knows that's a very scary place. Slaveboy and PQS! Behave yourselves!

And Slaveboy knows that’s a very scary place.

No offense intended. You're probably right about this not being the proper forum for airing my personal views about capital punishment. And I guess my being preachy isn't the best way to win any converts to my point of view. However, one of the attractions of ZF is that Angie's always been pretty relaxed about what participants say or do on it content-wise. I can't recall her ever censoring me or anyone else for anything we've posted (so long as the words are spelled right and the grammar is correct). I suppose there are limits to anything, but one thing about ZF that I've always found nice is that people here can say what they think. If there is disagreement with something somebodyposts, then another can comment or ignore it, as he likes. Your suggestion that I take my thoughts elsewhere rankles me a little, I guess. But I'll get over it. That aside, any time you want to debate me on the morality or social utility of the death penalty somewhere else, let me know where and when. I'm no fan of it, as you can probably tell. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts. Sorry, slaveboy. No offense intended.

It is nice to know where our hearts lie when they are not lying at Angela's feet, as rare as that might be. This is quite a change from our earlier PQS submissions about the Texas penal system!

The poet was directing us to some universal issues. Nice choice, Angela. Slaveboy - Rwanda and Darfur aren’t political issues - at least conservatives and liberals seem to agree.

Thank you, PQS, for your commentary. Angela, you are such an enigma. Yesterday you gave us humor, today you bless us with this. No wonder men are so drawn to you. Beautiful poem.

No wonder men are so drawn to you.

Its theme - remembrance - is still relevant. Sadly, what has been still is. Remember Rwanda, Darfur, Bosnia, Kossovo, Tibet, the Congo. I'd encourage those of you with nothing to do to Google "Zimbabwe elections" just for funsies and remember what's happening there as well. Racism, oppression, brutality, intolerance, bigotry, and mindless violence persist. And there's plenty to remember right here in the U S of A too. Consider the recent Supreme Court decision upholding Kentucky's use of lethal injection. Or consider the incarceration levels of black American males; the levels of punishment we mete out to our drug offenders; and against whom and how we decide to impose capital punishment. When Levi asks us to remember Auschwitz, I think he is asking us to remember all of the mini-Auschwitzes that are still occurring every day on our little planet. And I think he is asking us all to try a little harder than we normally do to do something about them. Thanks for posting Levi’s poem. Its theme - remembrance - is still relevant.
