Subject: RE: BS: USA sliding into depravity (botched execution)
it might be called for John, but we don't have answer all the calls on us. the total effect on our society was to debase it. my god -we were good at it!.. we hanged about a thousand suspected mau mau terrorists in the 1950's.
before an execution there were sneak pictures in the paper of the hangman on his way to perform his grisly task. interviews outside the prison gates. we were in love with capital punishment.
happily more civilised voices prevailed. step across the line John to the voices of decency, restraint and moderation. its the only way a civilisation can hope to improve.
