...baby who cannot speak, write or pull a lever can vote, but along the same lines, a catatonic adult is not able to vote either. Again, the distinction of a truly acceptable vote is not the age of the voter, but simply the voter’s ability to cast a ballot. Also, it should be noted that every four-year-old child will not be shoved into a polling both and forced to deliberate in elections.

...acting ranged quite a bit within the cast, but was characterized by gusto and enthusiasm. Burkle is excellent, playing Caligula as a sort of maniacal Holden Caulfied. He is extremely skilled at laughing like he is completely insane. He had to beat himself up about 12 times during the play and he did so with an unabashed physicality that was truly awe-inspiring. Mike B. Hoagland ’06, who played senator Cherea, was also good as a man bent on destroying what he sees as the embodiment of evil. Curtis, the mistress, is a little anemic...

...party and offers critics another chance to cast grave doubts on his legacy. Since becoming PM for the second time in 2001, he has pushed through several laws aimed at easing his legal troubles, including a 2003 immunity measure for top government officials that temporarily suspended the Milan case. That law was overturned, and the trial resumed in April. The latest verdicts may not change many minds in Italy, but perhaps they can start to change the subject. - By Jeff Israely Saddam's Supplier?
