But, it is still wide open for debate. I agree with Sean that after the execution the three dead people represented the viloence against individuals--some innocent, some not. Remember, Penn's last words were something like: "Killing's wrong--whether by me or you--or the government." Then, Robbins gives us that final shot. I believe it worked as a final testament. But, again, that's how I saw it. Mark Toscani ---- To signoff SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message. Problems? Contact [log in to unmask]
