Actually, per loin did some homework earlier in this thread and showed that you really can be prosecuted for hiring a hitman who vows to use a method that can't possibly work. The intent of the person hiring the hitman is what matters. I scoffed at his argument, but he has backed it up with a mess of legal citations. Just goes to show, you learn something every day.

Alas, per loin then lowered the tone of the discussion by making a racial comment and he's now on my bad list. (Bet he's trembling in his boots over that! Chuckle! ) Still, up to that point, he'd done an excellent job of changing my mind. Read his earlier citations and see.

Excellent! Not always easy to admit that one ought change one's mind. As for the racial comment, I frequently challenge others to understand the "racial" premises from which they are thinking, particularly if those premises are fundamentally racist but generally considered acceptable. I reckon that's got me on many bad lists, and further reckon that you understand just how often I tremble over that. Cheers!
