“I beleive that states should not execute their citizens.” …”their”… That’s funny, my government doesn’t “own” me or anyone else, we own them (although they do need reminding on occaission). The death penalty exists because we want it, not because the government does. The government tried to abolish it under that idiot Carter, and failed to keep it so. A strong majority of We the Owners believe that people like this are utterly undeterrable, and therefor un-rehabilitatable, and ultimately quite disposable. Much more disposable than his known victims (who knows the real number).

If we still used ‘Ole Sparky down here I’d throw the switch myself, or gladly join the rifle squad. I really mean that, I wouldn’t hesitate. But there just isn’t any romance in injection, it just seems to rob justice of its imperative.
