I am thinking of how fast we imprison ourselves in our self-imposed rooms with rules that are half-ass crazy. I like this because it makes me think, and I like thinking. It is a winner in my book.

Hi Gershon, I suppose that if there is choice of a death sentence or a life time sentence, one's immediate reaction would be the later, as death is so final. As for a state of mind - a provoking thought - a debatable one liner! Best wishes and poetry hugs, Jennifer.

You are arguably right. Perhaps indubitably so. Doo-be-dee-be-doo, as Sinatra would have it... Thank you for the feedback angle on this one, Jen. Appreciated. Best wishes, gw

In theory, you have a point, though I would not like to experience the reality!

Ha, ha! You've exposed me. If I had survived a prison sentence or something, I'd have a lot more credibility. :) gw
