Thanks for shedding some light (in a simple straight forward manner) about the realities of affordable health care act.

Oh I so adore that blue floral dress. Thanks for the money saving tips on honey moon supplies, it's always a good idea to have a first or another honeymoon. :)K

VictoriaLynn, I've eaten mung bean soup for years, being vegetarian it's a common staple in my diet. BUT I learned about this detox version from the Dr. Oz show, he highlighted it on one of his weight loss and detox programs. Great soup you will love it. I didn't expect to but did and still do, it's amazing!

If they only would send the European Cookie law to the same place, sigh, SY

Free is my favourite price tag of all!

I agree that cyber crime is the next biggie; but I will still resist all governmental attempts to use that to curb the freedom of the internet.

*still smirking about ACTA being defeated in the European Parliament yesterday.*

I read somewhere that there is proportionately less crime now than there has ever been. But because it's reported, it makes it seem like there is.

Thank you for adding your voice to this important issue, Frugalrvers.

You've hit the nail on the head there, to my mind. Until we have a perfect judicial system, how can we sentence people to death? And yes, I too believe that consciousness survives, at least for a short while. The horror of that is unbearable to me.

'An eye for a eye makes the whole world blind'. I've never been able to see why killing some instances is fine and in others is worth killing, which in that instance is fine, because some killed so they deserve to die at the hands of something for whom killing is fine... and so on into weary infinity.

I was completely lost on Squidoo for first three months but now I am feeling pretty comfortable there. We all should be aware Squidoo is MUCH bigger than Wizzley and being part of every community can have its pros and cons for big and small communities.
If you feel better here, you should probably concentrate your work on wizzes and use Squidoo lenses mainly for support.
Both platforms are great and I think it is good idea to learn working with both.
Just don't forget to have fun!

No, I'm new to both Squidoo and Wizzley. I have much more fun here and seem to get many more perks, but I'm still trying to get somewhere with Squidoo.

It's the simple things in life that give me tremendous joy. I love beautiful teapots and teacups. They're mandatory for my tea ceremony.

This sounds like good tactics to me, Sheri. If something works good, support it to become even stronger and than make a backup (another stream of income). Than just repeat.

Thanks for the kind words. :-)

I am on squidoo for a year and here for a few months. Right now I am focusing more on my squidoo writing as I am starting to make money there every month and here have not really taken off yet. I want to reach a certain level on squidoo and then pay more attention to wizzley. Can't do it all at the same time.

Your series, including this article, are great Jo - you've done such a wonderful job gathering all of the history on the various execution methods. I'm not a fan of executions for a few reasons:

first, in our country, guilt or innocence seems to stem on how much money you have to hire the most aggressive of lawyers...some guilty go free due to their checkbooks, and some innocent go to jail because they cannot afford to hire "the best."

second, I think research is showing that consciousness survives past bodily death - so executions are playing in an area that isn't understood (death). It isn't just brain waves, etc...

third, I don't think we are to impose death on others. When we believe someone murders someone, it is "eye for an eye." But our current world kills people daily in other ways, through greed, harmful products that are known to cause illness, etc...so where do we draw the line? Only the obvious people who end lives get executed while others run free?

Great topic...could chat about it forever (as is evident by my long post...sorry!) Thumbs up!!

Good info on spyware. I believe this sort of malicious software will be our major concern in next hundred years (but I am not sure how it will be called...). It looks just about everybody wants to know what everybody else is doing, than analyze this and use it to make some sort of profit.

I'll check this. The price for free version seems pretty affordable.

Thanks!
