Why try to make something that's simply not civilized appear more civilized by whitewashing it? Whether you shoot someone or give them a lethal injection, the state is still killing. And that's the bottom line.cheesecakelovernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6142743576584523533.post-92203335839130484232010-06-23T10:02:44.063-06:002010-06-23T10:02:44.063-06:00The marksmen/markswoman thing is very interesting....The marksmen/markswoman thing is very interesting.

They probably believe it mitigates this question of whether we want to live next door to someone who kills for a living because of the probable psychological consequences of a job like that. I wonder if they add money for counseling for the marksmen into the DOC budget?Winonanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6142743576584523533.post-38134409717576408032010-06-22T09:27:59.601-06:002010-06-22T09:27:59.601-06:00I actually think this is better - more honest, may...I actually think this is better - more honest, maybe - than a method like lethal injection.
