It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche

Well - I suppose they have to put him somewhere, once the madness there subsides...

That's terrifying. Surely his party will speak up & stop this incompetent,mentally impaired fool from being leader.

Last surviving inmate of Alacartaz, a Trump supporter, says re opening the prison a bad idea. But doesn't believe its a serious idea.

The movie on Eden at 8.30 tonight is 'The Departed'; the part played by Jack Nicholson, the character Frank Costello, is based on Irish-American gangster and crime boss James 'Whitey' Bulger who was imprisoned at Alcatraz, if you haven't seen the movie you should watch it, it's very good, I mean really good, excellent.
