I made a sauerkraut battery once, but no matter how much pickling brine I added I could not get it to produce more than about 4 volts @ about 500 milliamps.

The expression on her face after the incident would best be described as sour.

these sorts of wrongful acts need to be addressed, yes.

but do we need to use the ‘full force of the law’ and the criminal arrest judicial prison probation etc. system?

I think we need to design some sort of simpler, easier, more efficient (and I would venture to say, more effective) non-criminal law sort of approach to many of the momentary sort of lapses that people occasionally commit

I cannot define this and perhaps sauerkraut assault is .. or maybe is not... the best example for such a new approach

but surely there are thousands of arrests for things that should not, I really believe, require anyone being arrested.....and USA is known for locking up more of its citizens than most other ‘civilized’ countries...at great expense to us all, too.....

how about some things just getting ‘infraction fine tickets’ for starters?

just an idea...

What do does an angry Scott,a Ramada Inn, and a plate full of sauerkraut all have in common?

They all smell like Hillary.
