Subject: RE: BS: Justice in the USA
I am not sure, of course, but I think I could do the Suezanne thing. I kill mosquitoes and house flies, but that is just about it. I move spiders outside. I know I could not "pull the switch" on a human no matter how revolting I thought s/he is.....I don't know really, if I could forgive or forget, but I could NOT kill someone. Perhaps, the victim, or a relative of the victim, should be required to do the Deed? That might stop some of it.........they would also have to watch, even if their eyes had to be taped open. And maybe hold hands in the case of lethal injection.

Is that maybe cruel also? Perhaps.........I love "my" people, but I cannot kill.
