The crime would be mayhem. Boxers have gone to prison for that.
One of the last living 10-in-one performers. I wanted to be in show business the worst way, and that was it.

So?
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

I'll leave the issue of corporate personhood for others to argue.

Once you legalize gay marriage, you'll have people marrying corporations.

Guess they forgot to tell Bill Buckley. "...as we reason and love, we are able to hope. And hope enables us to resist those things that would enslave us." |

Are we to infer that corporations are gay?

Oh and the sarcasam about corporations being people is directed to those of us who think that when you hurt big corporations it is PEOPLE who own stock in them for retirement and other evil things like that. They are not people but they are indeed owned by people and it is indeed people who are often hurt when the corporation is hurt. (Not directed at you Bob.)

Gentlemen. We all know, how we play game is more important than winning, even to the point of death. When we kill and torture people it must at all costs be in accordence with the rules. If we can not stop the rules being broken then obviously the solution is to change the rules. So breaking legs on the field of play will now be allowed, as we can't be having gentlemen breaking the rules, can we?

On ****, someone wrote: It's only what's in the article... "It's one thing for the players to talk amongst themselves about bounties. It's another for coaches to get involved. And it's even worse when someone from outside the organization, in this case Mike Ornstein, is putting up large sums of money to take out an opposing players." reading remains fundamental "and laid em on the green" indeed

I guess I suffer from exactly the reading problem Bob has. But lets be clear Jonathan. It is a comprehension problem that you seem to be saying we have.

My reading is that according to the author what made it "bad" is the (outside the locker room) money/action on the activity out in the open where it could be reported. Here's his first sentence again: "It's not exactly surprising that players have put up bounties on big hits and injuries." ??
