SP,
I'm confused (as I usually get after trying to figure out what some of these posts are trying to say). Does this mean that boats going 125MPH across a crowded lake are safe? If a rep sponsors a bill that you do not agree with, are all the other bills that he has ever sponsored then invalid? What does a "capital punishment for minors" bill have to do with Lake Winnipesaukee? What does this bill have to do with HB162 except that maybe constituents from the same district asked the same rep to sponsor both? Are they considering adding a capital punishment provision to HB162? Good idea (said in jest).
Besides all that, if "the age had been 17", wouldn't that 17 year old have been immune from the death penalty before anyway?
