“I support the death penalty. I think that it has to be administered not only fairly, with attention to things like DNA evidence, which I think should be used in all capital cases, but also with very careful attention. If the wrong guy is put to death, then that's a double tragedy. Not only has an innocent person been executed but the real perpetrator of the crime has not been held accountable for it, and in some cases may be still at large. But I support the death penalty in the most heinous cases.” IfsThinkingShouldMayPersonsStillsRealUsedGuyAttentionCasesSupportCrimeEvidenceTragedyCarefulInnocentPenaltiesDnaDeath PenaltyPerpetratorsInnocent PersonWrong GuyDna Evidence Author:Al Gore

At the same time I discovered girls I fell out of love with guys in tights.” WorldRealKidsSpiritGuyGirlCrimeStrangeMetsReal WorldCoincidenceTightsFedoras Author:Frank Miller
“I hate superheroes. I always hated superheroes.
