i'm from Texas. We execute more people in this state than anywhere else in the US. 5 prisioners are scheduled to die before January is out. I'm for capital punishment, and i'm somewhat pleased with this event. It was going to happen, be it in a fireball, or hung like this, or even slaughtered by people looking for revenge.
I'm not pleased with the fact that this was leaked however. a condemded man has rights, and those rights should be respected. he shouldn't have to be humiliated or disrespected before he passes. those who did are the savages you all are talking about, not 'southern republicans'.
so far there has been no signifigant whiplash effect from this, but who knows.
20 years from now though, there will be another Saddam in Iraq, and he'll probably be worse. The middle east has been fighting since before alexander the great, and warfare is the only thing i see comming out of the region for a long time.
so my overall feeling on this is kind of like this
Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.
Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown
