"But what should we do when the highborn and wealthy take to crime? Indeed, if a poor man will spend a year in prison for stealing out of hunger, how high would the gallows need to be to hang the rich man who breaks the law out of greed?"

Love to you today. Safe travels, sweet pup. If there are no dogs in heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.

I used to only smoke when I went back home to visit because my mom still smokes like a chimney and the same thing happened. Sounded like Tom Waits gargling asphalt all week.

Same. I studied in the UK for awhile 20 some years ago while doing my masters and Manchester was absolutely my favorite place. A pal took me to my first proper soccer match and I've been a Man U supporter ever since.

Always good to see you, Chinch. Glad to hear you're living the hell out of life, even if sometimes that sucks. Give Rufus a beer from me. And safe travels, sweet Phoebe. If there are no dogs in heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.
