And what's even better is that we know that we have never wrongfully convicted an innocent person.

It would be a shame if an innocent woman was convicted for killing her infant child, all based on an incompetent pathologist and his inability to do his job.

Fortunately, that has never happened, so we definitely should bring back the noose.

Not my dad, countryboy, we didn't have servants. I am simply describing the attitudes prevalent in those days.
In your neighborhood perhaps, but generalizing like you did in that comment is just foolish because what happened in your neighborhood was not metastatic. Grow up.

i didn't say I can, JLM. I said that like any scientific theory, evolution can be proved wrong by a single observation. Can be proved wrong does not mean will be proved wrong.
No it can't. An aspect of evolution can be but evolution is fact. Grab a brain, or get an education, or something.

I didn't say it was great poetry, countryboy, I said it was good poetry. OK, it is not perfect, but how many do you think will be able to come up with even that much?
You didn't say it was great? Funny. This is a quote from you:
A great bit of poetry, you sure have hidden talents (assuming it was composed by you).
Like science, it appears that poetry is over your head.

Back in 1959 there was no DNA either I wonder how many not guilty people were
put to death? The society didn't have drugs in 59? Ya right. Of course they did
it was just that the people did their drugs quietly and out of the way so the so
called respectable people wouldn't see what was happening. Government and
police, military and church leader could lie with impunity and no one questioned
anything like some democratic dictatorship. We still haven't got over the Watergate
Affair, that's when society stopped trusting all authority figures and these leaders
have spent decades trying to suck us all back into being lemmings and it no longer
works. We are far better off now, but its not anywhere near perfect yet and never
will be. The right wing in the country is doing its utmost to put all the contents
of Pandora's box back tightly under the lid.

Yeah, far better now than back then. Now we have drugs on the street for everyone to enjoy seeing, people car bombing buildings, genocide is still being attempted, gangs shooting people in public during the daytime, pollution making millions sick, people over-running the planet killing off entire species, etc. ad infinitum. But we can now rebel against the gov't. YAY! :roll: That makes it all worthwhile. After all, the entertainment value is incalculable. lol

One man’s junk is another man’s treasure
It matters not how we measure
The worth of the thing
Or the use it might bring
In the hands of others
Its values recovers.
:cool:

Now there's a profound piece of poetry...good one! I can't write alakwent thangs like that! (I prefer limericks but can't seem to keep the four letter words out of them)

Profound? No way. Alakwent - hardly. Just didn't want you to get away with putting down your poetry efforts. LOL! :p:p:p
