Another short entry...
I was just reading this story on the CBC website about how the United States is abolishing the death penalty for those under 18 years old. The story itself is nothing special (other than the fact that news about not killing people is always a good thing), but the end of the article has an ironic, passive-aggressive jab at the United States while still maintaining the air of professional journalism. It is executed (pardon the pun) in perfect Canadian fashion:
"Other countries that have used the death penalty against people younger than 18 are Iran, Pakistan, China and Saudi Arabia."
Amazing.

CBC and poetry slams in the same missive. Are you a well rounded guy or what!
