"SHOULD"

Andrea Yates should be incarcerated in a mental hospital not a jail or a
hospital for the criminally insane.

Israel should get out of Palestinian territory. It should remove
"settlers" from Palestinian territory.

Palestine should cease terrorist attacks on civilian targets.

The Catholic hierarchy should feel shame about protecting Priests who
sexually abuse parishioners and reform the practice of celibacy from
mandatory to choice.

We should investigate and study African Churches that worship "Winners".
Perhaps the "Church of Wheel of Fortune" should be formalized here.

Kofi Annan, Anthony Zinni, George Bush and other non-Israeli and
non-Palestinian contestants should offer plans to stop conflict rather than
proffer words to show restraint.

Richard "Dick" Cheney should map out the attack on Iraq and the steps to
oust and replace Saddam Hussein.

The Arab League should propose help to Palestine in terms of building a
nation of peace and trade - not a nation at war with its neighbor.

The U.S. should keep its borders open but carefully and completely inspect
those who want to pass through.

People who own and wish to keep large or barking dogs should be licensed.

The power to pardon should be subject to plebiscite review.

"Games" celebrating vampire attacks, monster's threatening humans,
motor-cycle gangs, nazis and terrorists brutalizing innocent victims should
be immediately destroyed and prevented from being offered for sale or given
away. Makers of games that trivialize or deny such horrors as genocide
should be prosecuted.

The homeless should be provided with clean, safe housing for limited
periods of time where they can receive social services and help
reestablishing normal living practices.

Insanity should be understood not feared. The insane should be kept from
us and protected against themselves.

The Federal Government should never resort to mass mid-night raids on
suspects.

Everyone should exercise the right to invoke "should" whenever possible.
Carol's Evaluation: 10 out of 10.
