re: #382 Ericus58

Being a parent - and the wondrous responsibilities it brings to me - I can not even understand why someone would harm their own child. Or any child.

The experiences I’ve been blessed to have as a father is humbling and rewarding. I’m thankful to have this in my life.
And I can understand the pain and regret some will find in being childless. My heart goes out to them.

But these evil ones, I don’t have to understand them. They have crossed a line of sacred trust. After legally concluding their guilt, hook them up.

I’m not in favor of capital punishment. There are major problems with it.

However, if the problems were dealt with, I’d make the method of carrying it out a bullet in the back of the head. Quick, cheap and effective.

I’d also make it that the job of executioner was filled by lottery. Every citizen of the country could possibly get a letter that says, “On this day you will be at this jail where you will execute this person.”

To quote Heinlein, “A real man shoots his own dog.”
