'Beware of all those in whom the urge to punish is strong'..Nietzsche
I just finished watching this documentary on the National Geographic channel about these inmates on Death Row in Huntsville, Texas, and because I have no life and I live in the middle of the fucking desert, it got me thinking. One question that I have is why does everything always have to be so goddamn clever all the time? You should see the process that they go through just to execute one guy. Never mind all the appeals and stuff, I'm talking about how they actually carry out a death sentence. They've turned something so simple into something so convoluted, and complicated that only a Medical Doctor, or Stephen Hawking has the know-how to carry out the sentence. "Well, first we'll inject him with a dose of Benedryl, in case he has a stuffy nose, then we rub his tummy counterclockwise, then we inject him with roofies, after this we inject him with 15 other chemicals only found on the surface of a comet, while the inmate solves a Rubik's cube before we eventually kill him. People, honestly how hard is it to just chop a motherfuckers head off? Do we really need to reinvent the wheel on this one? Some seriously bored people must come up with these idiotic ideas....."Wait! By jove I think I've got it! What we'll do is get a wood chair and hook it up to an industrial strength generator, then we'll attach the condemned into it with 50 straps, then we place a wet sponge on top of dude's head.....and pump a bolt of lightning through his face until his eyeballs pop out!" Whoever comes up with this shit like this must have spent way too much time watching Friday the 13th or Nightmare on Elm Street, maybe they think that if they don't kill the condemned a "certain way" they might "come back" like Freddy Kruger for revenge, so they feel they have to come up with ingenious and creative ways to kill someone. And the main reason they stopped using the electric chair is because its "cruel and unusual punishment" as if now their Nelson fucking Mandela, what a bunch of cowardly hypocrites if you ask me. Uh, well you're executing someone so yeah it's probably considered cruelty.....and you're sticking 50 different needles into another human just to kill him, or shocking them to death with electricity so I guess that would be a little on the unusual side. I'm not against the death penalty, but I am against the hypocrisy and stupidity of the whole thing. Look at all the challenges to the Supreme Court there have been because nobody knows whether the person "feels pain" or not, (YOU ARE KILLING SOMEONE, ITS GONNA HURT ASSHOLES), all the time and money wasted when all you had to do was shoot him in the back of the head, or put him in the Guillotine, but the only reason you don't want to do it that way is because "its not pretty" at least then there would be no doubt...."Um, well, we chopped his head off with a giant meat cleaver, so we're gonna go ahead and assume he didn't suffer a whole lot." Let's all quit pretending that it's not "real" killing that somehow its different from other unnatural deaths, a death, is a death, is a death. These Texans are the biggest bunch of bitches I've ever seen in my life, they walk around with boots and 10 gallon hats like they're some big macho cowboys, but then they need some some scrawny little doctor to do their dirty work and keep the blood off their own hands.....
