Truth, For a Change: Let's issue a stay of execution on executions.
Truth, For a Change: Let's issue a stay of execution on executions.
This is a blogger who shall remain nameless who is actually one of my favourite people in real life....
This story was making it's way around NPR today...
I am AGAINST the death penalty. Period. I used to be for it - USED TO BE - my mind was changed when I read 'Dead Man Walking'. Now, I feel that we have no right to put other people to death - to me it is state sanctioned murder. Further, it seems to me that the people who clamour the most about it seem to also be the people who want to take away such things as women's' rights to choose to terminate a pregnancy, what's the matter boys? Murder's OK but it's just a matter of timing???? Yeah OK....get a vasectomy you jerks.....in fact stop breeding altogether....
Here's the problem (LOL like there's only one)....if we ARE going to be for the death penalty why the fuck do we need to be humane with it? I mean we are killing someone cause they killed someone else - we should be nice about that???? Why????? Were they nice when they murdered their victim(s)????? Why are we being such Pollyanna's about the whole damn thing???
You want to kill well to that I say 'Hang 'em High!' and I am being dead serious (pardon my awful pun).....If we were to execute one person publicly and hang them or electrocute them on TV - just like it was the state of the friggin' nation address or somesuchshit where it's on EVERY TV in the country...I am telling you *THAT* would deter people....
But what's the matter with that 'picture' too brutal for y'all - or are we just to 'civilised' to do it that way????
*smirk*
Like I said the absolute stupidity/ignorance of people astounds me....
