My preference back in the day was on the other side of the fence, rather than stupor producing substances. Years ago my dentist would prescribe oxycontin or similar stuff after an extraction or root canal. I still have them, saved for a very rainy day. Those days are over. The day after hip surgery they offered Tylenol. That never did much for me so I passed.

Right. That's part of what I mean by "the anti-s are destroying it from
the inside". Note also that the common objection used by anti-s that it
costs more to execute someone than it does to keep them in prison for life
is:
a) Doubtful. As with many stats used for rhetorical purposes, it is
probably very cherry-picked and twisted stats to make a point.
and
b) Only true (if it is) because of all the silly (and, unfortunately,
required by law) appeals that do little except keep lawyers employed.

I seem to recall that someone survived, and as his sentence has been
fulfilled, he was freed. Can not find a reference.

In none of the cases I read there say that the person was freed. What I read somewhere was something like the sentence specifying the prisoner was sentenced to a current of so many volts applied this way, for such time, etc. The prisoner survived, but the sentence had been fulfilled, even if he was alive. Thus, he was freed. -- Cheers, Carlos. ES🇪🇸, EU🇪🇺;

Just flood 'em with nitrogen - they'll pass out almost immediately and be dead dead in about five minutes. Something like that happened with NASA some years back, several engineers walked into a tunnel that'd been purged with nitrogen. Dropped dead, no muss, no fuss. If you wanna be double sure, add 5% carbon monoxide to the nitrogen. Some view executions as 'justice', others as 'revenge', others as a big 'deterrent'. It's kind of all of those combined. The perps must NEVER think they can get away with it or all hell breaks loose. Hmm, notice the huge uptick in 'Killer Mom' news stories in the past month ? Just sayin'

It's also been claimed that executions cut way down on recidivism, but I have not seen any firm statistics to substantiate that claim. I believe it would be appropriate to conduct public executions of politicians and other public servants who violate the Constitution or other aspects of their oath of office. Just saying. -- Roger Blake

Eliminating morons from the gene pool is beneficial. "Three generations of imbeciles are enough." Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Buck v. Bell, 274 U.S. 200 (1927) How far we've fallen in 100 years. Now imbeciles are nurtured, given cash rewards for producing little imbeciles, and forgiven when they rape and murder because they don't know any better.

Heh heh ! :-) Rather too many pols ARE absolute idiots - just oddly blessed with the ability to persuade others. Tune into CSPAN or other US television that shows congressional/etc events live. Oh, WOW ! Plato wasn't entirely wrong about 'democracy'. Our fix-ups, well, didn't fix everything. But, I'll still note Churchill's observation : " ... democracy is the worst form of Government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time." We can, HAVE, done much MUCH worse.

It takes the guys off the streets... Capital punishment does it permanently at potentially lower cost. Transportation was good. Poor and so stealing? Bugger off to Oz or Murica and make something of yerself. The African chiefs did the same thing, Take the useless and make a bob or two selling them as slaves -- All political activity makes complete sense once the proposition that all government is basically a self-legalising protection racket, is fully understood.

Surely more fun would be the pillory or the stocks. -- All political activity makes complete sense once the proposition that all government is basically a self-legalising protection racket, is fully understood.

One anaesthetist put me under with it. Great warm whoosh and I was gone...
