A few thoughts from the last week…

I believe the death penalty is always wrong. I am not in favour of capital punishment.

I believe if you enter a country that still imposes the death penalty on drug traffickers and then try to smuggle drugs then you have to suffer the consequences. You are a fool.

I believe the idea of a minute’s silence for a convicted criminal is absurd. Who thought of it?

I believe Singapore stuffed it up by not allowing real contact between mother and son on the day of his death. That is really poor form.

I believe this is another example of where media attention has caused us to pay attention to one person’s plight when millions of others suffer also. Why Nguyen?… Is he really any more newsworthy than other folks?…
