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.

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.
