I propose that everyone be forced to sign a document which explains what penalty they would like applied in the event they are murdered.  Sort of like a living will.

"If I am murdered, please do not execute the perpetrator."

"Fry the fucker."

For, although not for rape.

To create heaven on earth, we must abolish the death penalty.

I support execution in favor of our current penal regime of spiritual torture.

Voted that I support the death penalty for murder, rape, treason, and as an alternative to anyone being imprisoned for anything more than two/three years.

The problem is that it costs more to execute someone than to keep them imprisoned for life.  This needs to be looked into if the full potential of death penalties is to be realized.

I'm currently working on a combustion based form of punishment.  I have a test case all lined up, may write an AAR.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

When does short-term torture become long-term torture?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
