If you’re not living life on the edge, you’re taking up too much space.

Barbarism has its day

Singapore has conducted another barbaric and degrading killing of a human being with the execution of the unfortunate Van Nguyen.

I have no reliable information about his guilt or innocence and am not at all concerned with that.

The death penalty is always wrong. It is always cold-blooded murder and a society that uses it is demeaned by that.

I will certainly not set foot in Singapore while it maintains its policy of killing people.
