2. just hypothetically, would his death actually cancel the debt?
wouldn't you still owe his estate?

3. Absolutely not. It's only ethical to kill people who
refuse to use their turn signals or those who signal so late they might as well not fuggin' bother.

Any other questions I can answer for you today? :P

8. Good thinking! Why should I be legally forced to submit to the yoke
of the employee? When do I get my salvation? When do I get my release from the oppression of the worker?

Fuckin' liberals and their laws.

22. killing a worker is protected by the first amendment
and if you shoot them, by the second amendment.
