In a democracy, every voice should be heard and not shouted down like the black van people are doing to the teachers.

Killing certain scumbags does Not benefit the rest of society. It benefits those who were wronged by the scumbag. Locking the scumbag up for the rest of his life would benefit society in that he wouldn't be able to harm anyone else - except those in jail - and 'society'…

pizzaboy & taka- I have seen the children of the sort Taka described. In fact, I work with one who spent his entire youth (from about 4) in 'scheduled events designed to train' him to do something. He's 65 now. He hated his childhood.
