Guglietta The Jackass !

       Another jackass is running for Rhode Island attorney general-

    Democrat William R. Guglietta ..." recommended the death penalty

    for some youngsters who kill ". This is a pretty tired routine

    for the less bright candidates for that most honorable office.

         Of course the kid's IQ will also be a factor, says Wild Bill.

    An 14 year old killer with an IQ of 150 is a good candidate for

    roasting, he thinks. He does know enough practical psychology to

    understand that a kid can have a high IQ and be emotionally

    retarded.

          Since high IQs are so rare in Rhode Island, you would

    think that this alone would be reason to spare the kid. But

    then our politicians are perhaps prejudiced against INTELLIGENCE


    wherever they find it.

            Eva Marie Mancuso  and Nancy Mayer, the Republican candidate

    for attorney general - seem to have more common sense. Mancuso says :

    " the death penalty is morally wrong regardless of the age of the

    defendants. It doesn't deter murder and appeals make it costly to

    state."

              Guglietta might hesitate to execute a  7 year old , but

    " there's no bright line test . "

        Unfortunately there is no bright line test for Rhode Island

    politicians.Again and again the voters here must choose  between

    Dumb and Dumber !
