photojournalism and the paparazzi. I will prove that stalking celebrities

When police officers see dealers with $300,000 in the back seat

punishment is within the law it is not murder. Also if executions is
murder then prison is kidnapping and charging taxes is extortion. There is

healthy woman who is a doctor. They all have been there for fifteen days and
they must remain there for an additional fifteen days before they can be rescued.
The problem is that although there are five of them in the bunker, there is only
enough food for four people to survive for the remaining fifteen days. Rationing
the food will not be of any use, because all will die with such a plan. The only
way for most of the survivors to live for the next fifteen days is for one to
die. Somehow they have contacted an outside source to advise them on the
questions of "Who shall die?", and "How should the decision of choosing the
person be car ....
