I had the best sex of my life period with a French Canadian girl named Suzanne Christink back in the seventies.

Drop dead beautiful, petite, but with breasts the size of refrigerators, horny, deviant, God I enjoyed my time with her.

I used to tour Canada with a pre Cirkus band called Jubal back then. Suzanne was from Winnipeg.

I have fond memories of Canada.

If there had been a referendum on the death penalty when I was 18, I would have been voting for it. Now I would vote against it. It doesn't benefit society at all.

As long as there is any possibility that even one person might be innocent, execution of any type is abhorent.

I wondered about the Mormon tradition and found this on google:

Quote:
The clarification from the church was needed, according to one commission member, because of a historical Mormon doctrine that held that justice was not done unless a murderer's blood was shed.

Utah is the only state that uses the firing squad method, although Idaho and Oklahoma retain it as an option if other methods are not viable.

I agree Diane. Far too many people have been put to death who were later found innocent. One is too many.

I don't like hearing that prisons are better equipped, technically, than many of our public schools or prisoners are better taken care of than our soldiers in the military. That should never, ever be. But it is.
I can't feel compassion for some pig facing the death penalty for raping and murdering a child and don't give a damn how they decide to take him out for that crime.

I think it would be interesting for people who have ideas about what life is like in prisons to go visit one. In my years working for the Colorado State Dept of Human Services I spend one year working inside our prison system. Its a genuine horror show.

Took care of a lot of prisoners in King County Jail while working in the ED at Harborview and at the Baltimore Corrections Facility while at Hopkins. They definitely don't have it easy!

A vast number.
I don't know the percentage but a great perecentage are in prison due to the idiotic drug laws of the US. Another topic I know but what the Hell, eh?

Maybe I will start a topic about the Stupid Drug Laws of the US. Remember the War On Drugs? Another huge waste of money.

I think a majority of A2K'ers think the drug war is idiotic and about as counterproductive as any undertaking I've ever viewed.

War on Poverty.

War on Drugs.

War on Terrorism.

Are we winning any of those?

Is it possible we even can?

I suppose it depends on how you define "winning". I think of the effort to war with these things as having a goal of reducing the amount of these things, and as such, I think it is possible to "win" or to be "winning", but that doesn't mean our current methods are "winning" these wars. I am convinced that the liberal thinking which gave birth to most of what we currently call the war on poverty actually creates more poverty, not less. Likewise I think that the conservative thinking behind our war on drugs actually does more harm to society than does the use of drugs.

As to the war on terrorism, the only thing I am sure of is that we either take the war to them--as the current administration and its allies are trying to do--or they will bring the war to us. We do not have the luxury of simply choosing not to fight this war.
