It's all in preparation for the day when there will be only one punishment for
all crime ... and I still favor the immersion in molten iron for punishment. It
would make a good show at halftime during the superbowl. Tie 'em to a steel
rail and lower 'em into the pot at about 1" per second ... feet first, then tell
the kids, "See? That's what happens if you don't go to school. That's
what
happens if you steal ... "

WHAT??? where did you hear that? I live in
Florida and I've never
heard it.
You need to look around more... cameras are getting to be everywhere...
and they are getting to be prevalent enough that news shows are starting
to do segments about them and the privacy issues...
