I think we should have a referendum on whether to abolish the death penalty, or begin executing the many murderers we have in prison. I hesitate to say “on death row,” because there is no such thing. The death penalty means nothing – no one ever gets hanged these days.

Words of wisdom: He that speaketh to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail. He had swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up. Again, the nobles held their peace, and their tongues cleaved to the roof of their mouths. Twenty million U.S. dollars is forty million Belize dollars. The rich and the poor meet together; the Lord is the maker of them both. Excellent speech becometh not a fool; much do lying lips becometh a prince. An evil man seeketh only rebellion; therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him. A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul. Yes, again, forty million U.S. dollars is only twenty million in this poor country, when you look at it backwards. So, again, you know everything, but not what comes in or goes out. So, to understand this secret, if you were given twenty, you should have gotten forty. And no education is needed for this. The bullsh__ has worked for someone.
