| Message | What's more of a deterrent: a quick, easy and painless death or top security imprisonment for the rest of your life? I'd say the later is the harsher punishment and also can be reversed if the subject is found to be innocent at a later date. |

| Message | could also lead to them getting out on parole and there are also worse places to be than in a Hobrazian prison. Also the death doesn't need to be painless if you prepare we could go all medieval e.g. hung, drawn and quartered, death of 1000 cuts (arabian feel),beheading, burnt at the stake (religious feel), crucified (slight martyr feel so possibly not) etc... the nasty ways of execution are endless if you use your imagination. |

Their character, their habits, their appetites undergo a complete transformation when torn from their soil in field and forest. With human nature caged in a narrow space, whipped daily into submission, how can we speak of its potentialities?" - Emma Goldman |
