Karaoke Thought Experiment

by Smitty We’ll call him ‘Person On The Unreproachable Side’ for the sake of this post, as it ventures in the direction of what I personally consider distasteful. As a thought experiment, say that the Person was convicted. Let’s not fret about the possible list of crimes, its length, grouping, or how it would be […]
