In Virginia, the governor and attorney general races are especially important. In Pennsylvania, remember to vote YES on the retention of the Supreme Court justices on the ballot. In California, vote YES on Proposition 50.

Sadism is a form of addiction. And like all addictions, it's never satisfied.

Sadistic individuals acts' of perpetrating pain, suffering, and death increase both in frequency and magnitude throughout their lives.
