RE: Anyone else find it funny that a sitting US Senator is about to go to trial for bribery, but that story isn't considered as news by the Ministry of Truth?
it wasn't so long ago that there were public whippings and hangings...
one was punishment for crimes commited and deterrent from repeat offense.
the other was chlorine in the gene pool.

You live in Austin don't you?

take those off the tour and I'll think about it!
