Is this adequate punishment for some of the heinous crimes that we see committed out there? Not in my book.
I am all for capital punishment, but not as it's applied right now. The death row inmates shouldn't be allowed to die of old age, as they are now. The executions should be as swift and as painful as possible...preferably at the hands of the family members of the victims. Handcuff the murderer and place him in a room, and let the family of the victim pay him a visit armed with baseball bats. And then have someone come in after a few minutes to take out the garbage and clean up the mess.

Is that really you, Thask? Who said there is no such thing as the resurrection from the dead?
Long time no see. Hope all is well with you.
