I don't have a link but it shouldn't be difficult to find. Apparently here in Texas we're halting executions because some dipshit judge decided to rule lethal injection as "cruel & unusual punishment". WTF is cruel & unusual about it!!??

Hmm, interesting. My point still stands, I can't see how that punishment would be ruled to be cruel and unusual unless the courts found that all forms of execution fell under that blanket statement.
And yes, I agree Hartmann. Put them to work in the cotton fields! -------------------- A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?

As a country, we complain that we have no one that wants to do the dirty work and that our blue collar work force has dwindled, just use the convicts. Pay them less than minimum wage to do jobs that are usually filled with illegal immigrants (strawberry picking comes to mind) and we've solved two problems in one swift move. We move inmates that have good behavior to better facilities (then they escape), so give them a slightly better job instead. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

This Ted Koppel (who I don't like) special on the prison system paints it as this horrible, horrible place, yet these guys have cable and access to the internet. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
