You want execution then give the executioner a cyanide pill for when they have pressed the button.
You can clutch the past so tightly to your chest that it leaves your arms too full to embrace the present.

DS...
I'm against the death penalty. It's state sanctioned murder. BUT I understand the WANTING of revenge. Even President Obama supports the death penalty in some circumstances. Which, again, is understandable.
Also the dilemma we face: do we execute the mentally ill?
And, too, what about government leaders who launch illicit wars? Should they be tried? And if found guilty, well, should they receive the death penalty?
What about people on Wall Street?
What about CEOs?
I mean, the list is endless....

I thought I heard a rabid mutt whimper at 9:11 PM. Is that related?

But I have to go with Hobbes here: "The aym of Punishment is not a revenge, but terrour."
And maybe its easier to withdraw from life
With all of its misery and wretched lies
If we're dead when tomorrow's gone
The Big Machine will just move on
Still we cling afraid we'll fall
Clinging like the memory which haunts us all
