Congrats, man. You totally deserve it.
I didn't vote, but if I had, it would have been for GFB.
Hi,
Your information is valuable about law.I think the body of law dealing with crimes and their punishment is called Criminal Law.according to the web defination The term criminal law, sometimes called penal law, refers to any of various bodies of rules in different jurisdictions whose common characteristic is the potential for unique and often severe impositions as punishment for failure to comply.
