#4 I've not been able to eliminate Fire Ants as a species, but Home Depot's Amdro has sure helped the recidivism problem.

#5 1/4 cup of gasoline kills the entire mound, and even at 4 bucks a gallon that's 12 1/2 cents per hill, what does amdro cost?

(Note do NOT set the hill afire, the fumes sink through the hill and the vapors kill on contact, But if you set it afire, the fire creates a draft and the Queen is not killed)

#7 The effect is most pronounced, according to some studies, in Texas and other states that execute condemned inmates relatively often and relatively quickly.

Yes, quick swift execution as amply demonstrated in our homes, our streets, our communities has shown remarkable success in altering behaviors - do you make sure your doors and windows are locked? - do you avoid certain neighborhoods and sections of your cities? - do you worry about where your children are at when the sun goes down?

The obstruction by a powerful minority to the death penalty demonstrate beyond reasonable doubt that is nation is neither a republic nor a democracy.
