Can they be cleared quickly? Because I’ve sure been in traffic due to wrecks that block off both sides of a divided highway for hours. Except they could divert traffic to the nearest exit.
I’m not in favor of outlawing it, but if you’re going to outlaw cannabis, which is less dangerous and mostly just psychologically addictive, you should outlaw tobacco. It’s a ridiculous double-standard.
So you wouldn’t say “my brother is traveling to France” while he’s on the plane? What do you say? “My brother is will be were traveling to France?”
And you claimed you could infer an author’s intent from a title. Therefore you can tell me that you knew for a fact before seeing or hearing about the movie Fargo just from the title alone that only a few seconds of the film took place in Fargo. Correct or not?

There’s the potential you will get hit by a car every time you walk down the street. Isn’t that potential better than someone intentionally driving into you?
Of course it is not acceptable to imprison potentially innocent people for life. That’s why you give them many chances to appeal. Do you think that I believe people should not be given chances to appeal or something?
And, again, they only have the potential of being in prison for life. If their appeals have been exhausted but new evidence arises, special circumstances can be made.
People with the death penalty who have exhausted all of their appeals get killed.
Also, there is no restitution given to innocent people who were killed. Innocent people who were imprisoned and get let free get restitution.
