| Message | We feel that the death penalty is an easy way out for these extreme cases noted. A lifetime in our most hellish prisons seems better justice. |

| Message | That's the point, this is not a sign of inhumanity. This is to help those who are persecuted to be relieved by the punishment brought to by our prisons. WE, for ourselves, care for them and can't bear to see them like that. Also, this is another good way of cleaning up the prisons. |

| Random quote: "No one today can afford to be innocent, or indulge himself in ignorance of contemporary governments, politics and social orders. The national polities of the modern world maintain their existence by deliberately fostered craving and fear: monstrous protection rackets. The 'free world' has become economically dependent on a fantastic system of stimulation of greed which cannot be fulfilled, sexual desire which cannot be satiated and hatred which has no outlet except against oneself, the persons one is supposed to love, or the revolutionary aspirations of pitiful, poverty-stricken marginal societies like Cuba or Vietnam. The conditions of the Cold War have turned all modern societies - communist included - into vicious distorters of man's true potential." - Gary Snyder |
