And why do they have suicide watch on death row? [/ QUOTE ] Because part of the punishment is that you have no control over when you die. An inmate that commits suicide gets to die on his own terms. |

[ QUOTE ]
An Indiana law requiring voters to present a government ID at the polling place. I don't have a strong opinion on this one. On one hand, preventing voter fraud is important; on the other hand, I can definately see how this would disproportionally hurt the poor. [/ QUOTE ] Just allow their EBT card as a form of ID. |

[ QUOTE ] I'm pretty sure the contention is that lethal injection is frequently botched in a way that makes it very painful to the condemned. [/ QUOTE ] how can LI be botched more often than hanging? Give them surgical anaesthesia before the lethal dose, boom, done [/ QUOTE ] http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?art...amp;sc=I100322 |

[/ QUOTE ] So we spend money forcing inmates to live so we can spend more money to feed and house them so we can spend even more money to kill them, because of a twisted moral argument. And this is the role of a responsible government? Join the dark side, people - you'll do less harm that way... |

If they want to do it themselves, more power to them. |
