Don't. Justice will prevail. Honestly, it will.

6. it's an interesting concept, going back thousands of years
aristotle, sophocles and others have written on it, but when pat robertson talks about it, it takes on a whole new sinister color.

7. Pat is sinister. His religion is drawing him in the wrong direction.

He should know that better than anyone, if he were truly spiritual.

10. You've got that right.
No argument from me. Somehow when they start ordering murders though they really cross the line from just being crooks.

4. I am no orator
as Brutus is, but as you know me all, a plain, blunt man - that loved his friend. And that, they know that gave me public leave to speak for him. For I have neither wit, nor words, nor worth, action, nor utterance, nor the power of speech to stir men's blood. I merely speak right on. I tell you that that all of you do know, show you sweet Caesar's wounds - poor, poor dumb mouths - and bid them speak for me. But were I Brutus, and Brutus Antony, there were an Antony would ruffle up your spirits, and put a tongue in every wound of Caesar that should move the very stones of Rome to rise and mutiny...
