In the days following Saddam's execution we heard often about how the Iraqis (and by implication their American protectors) had botched it. Saddam was taunted on the gallows, and his last moments were videotaped by witnesses who should not have been collecting souvenirs. Those infractions of execution etiquette ought not to have been allowed, but don't kid yourself: No execution is ever pretty. And in this squeamish, fastidious nation it is easy to forget the significance of a hanging; a British royal commission once spelled it out. Hanging is "a peculiarly grim and derogatory form of execution, suitable for sordid criminals and crimes."
Makes you wonder how bad their security measures are if they can't execute their own deposed leader in peace...
"this one, anytime I say love if you wanna say love, uh, say it, and if you say it you might as well say it loud, and if you don't feel like sayin' it, don't say it, but if you feel it, certainly say it..."
NOTE: Everything I write in the P,P&M section are intended to be songs, not poetry.
"The prefrontal cortex is the anterior part of the frontal lobes of the brain..." "...this brain region has been implicated in planning complex cognitive behaviors, personality expression and moderating correct social behavior."
So that's the part of my brain which is making it impossible for me to function in society... time to get the rusty saw and the ice cream scoop, I got me a brain to fix.

I don't think that's going to help
I think I might have something wrong with mine, but I can do other executive functions. So, perhaps my problems are just psychological or due to underdevelopment.
I've been talking to a psychology professor and a DSW and they don't seem to think anything is wrong with me and I've given them the go-ahead to analyze me.
I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire
