Hopefully Thursday night I will post my awe inspiring last word on execution. Until then, I'm too lazy and internetless away from work... where I'm attempting to earn the money i'm making/giving to support criminals.

It seems ironic and hypocritical that an act viciously condemned in Oklahoma City is now a "justified" response to a problem in a foreign land. Then again, the history of United States policy over the last century, when examined fully, tends to exemplify hypocrisy.When considering the use of weapons of mass destruction against Iraq as a means to an end, it would be wise to reflect on the words of the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis. His words are as true in the context of Olmstead as they are when they stand alone: "Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example." from http://www.outpost-of-freedom.com/McVeigh/OKCaug98.htm by killing people, they are setting the example that killing is ok. It doesn't matter why, how, when, or where, but killing a killer is still killing a human being, and it is wrong.

That's the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard Non. C'mon. Seriously. Animals in nature don't enjoy killing, they don't hate it either, they do it to survive. We are at a point in our society where we don't have to kill to survive, however we kill to exert power over others, or for some ideal, or revenge, or for some psychological rage. Do animals? No. In fact as far as I know there's not a whole lot in the form of ANY of that in the wild, certainly not revenge or ideals. Humans are animals, animals kill because they have to, humans on the other hand kill for all sorts of stupid reasons. So obviously this "inherent need" to kill obviously isn't relevant in nature, and probably isn't really inherent anyways. I think that's just something we, or society, has convinced us to justify things like war and sanctioned murder.

And we don't need to kill the wolf. He will be spending his life in in a cage, what does it show if we kill him? He can't do any more harm.
