Here is an article

Most of the people that are put up for execution had commited murder. Now that it's thier turn, they're complaining about how painful it could be. I find this ironic. Were they thinking about the pain thier victims were going through?

I'm not interested in the government torturing people to death, no matter what they did. Leave that to places like Iran.

It does raise the question of whether a humane way of executing someone exists, or is even possible.

Room full of carbon monoxide should satisfy those requirements.

From my understanding, that's just falling like asleep and never waking up.

I think the death penalty in a whole is a failure. It's designed to be a deterrent, yet murders still happen every day. Perhaps a more gruesome type of execution is in order? One that would scare the living bejezus out of people that even slightly contemplate murder.

The threat of a lifetime spent with Hillary Clinton or Nancy Pelosi would nudge folks onto the straight and narrow.


edit: Oddly it hasn't worked for Bill.

Sure.

That doesn't stop him from visiting Tyra Banks every now and again.

Or Hillary for that matter.



Thanks. Try the veal.
