I think you can at least muster an appropriately mischievous giggle.
A-hee-hee...

Wot, no love for the Howard League? I have no idea if they're powered by Jesus as well but they seem to be saying sensible things.

In case you didn't pick it from the link above, the same "60-foot fall from the Kauri Cliffs" has also not killed Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise and Harrison Ford.

And now twitter is going nuts that Jeff Goldblum has died on set??

Just about every news source on the web appears to be seized up with people furiously Googling this story.
I can't find anything more conclusive than linkbacks to a TMZ gossip report - workmates report that friends from home have seen it on TV, although whether they've actually seen conclusive reporting or just the secondhand info from TMZ I don't know.

These sound more like humanity's faithful companions than signs of the end of days.
See Ambrose Bierce:
FOOL, n. A person who pervades the domain of intellectual speculation and diffuses himself through the channels of moral activity. He is omnific, omniform, omnipercipient, omniscience, omnipotent. He it was who invented letters, printing, the railroad, the steamboat, the telegraph, the platitude and the circle of the sciences. He created patriotism and taught the nations war—founded theology, philosophy, law, medicine and Chicago. He established monarchical and republican government.
He is from everlasting to everlasting—such as creation's dawn beheld he fooleth now. In the morning of time he sang upon primitive hills, and in the noonday of existence headed the procession of being. His grandmotherly hand was warmly tucked-in the set sun of civilization, and in the twilight he prepares Man's evening meal of milk-and-morality and turns down the covers of the universal grave. And after the rest of us shall have retired for the night of eternal oblivion he will sit up to write a history of human civilization.

Oh dear. So we're not allowed to discuss it unless we're architects or cost analysts with experience of building prisons? Cheap shot.
That doesn't look like what Kyle was saying to me.
I think everyone is perfectly entitled to discuss the issue and propose better solutions, but I also think it's sensible to give experts' views more weight when trying to decide which solutions are workable.
I think this holds particulary true with the issue of corrections, since most people don't have day to day experience of the prison environment, and many people really, really want to believe that there is a dirt-cheap and effective way to imprison people for years on end and actually have them come out better at the end of it.

does the 'dirty skank brought it on herself' line have to come out as easily as a well-lubed butt-plug during a fit of mega-flatulence?
I don't think my day would be complete without reading at least one of your brain-exploding similes.
That said, agree totally with your underlying point.

All the best, Russell.
Also, just in case you missed it, Danyl said hi:
I’ve just learned via the Public Address comments that Russell Brown is at home recovering from surgery after having a kidney stone removed. The DimPost writers, subs, administrative staff and editorial team all wish him a speedy recovery.
