I do not believe in the death penalty for humans.

I do support the death penalty for corporations.

When they murder people, let's dissolve them. Break them up, destroy their technology, nationalize their assets.

We are working very hard.

Our dog Ginko has taken my spot on the couch in such a way as to seem like he was using the computer and he is mildly annoyed to be interrupted. The laptop is silver and it sits on a plump yellow ginko leaf cushion. Behind our dog are windows and a cat scratcher.
