May as well sell tickets to the family of the victim for 5 minutes with a machete. At last, then, it would be transparent...and we could recoup some of the cost.
No reason to be cruel and uncivilized, we've got this shit down to an industrial science.
Quote:So you feel Justice should be served with a side of exploitation and mob rule for dessert?Isn't it already? The death penalty is just a prop in our "tough on crime" political theater. It serves no other purpose. All you have to do to belly yourself up to the trough is pick a wedge issue and babble loudly and often.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
