I believe that 60 Hertz is a harmonic frequency of the human heart beat (~60 beats a minute = 1 beat a second) 60 Hertz interfers with the heart beat. That being said ... according to the pie chart I used in electrical engineering school amps*volts = watts named after James Watt ... the old energy secretary (just kidding) ... Voltage does affect frequency if you apply it to a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) ... I'm hoping that ol Tookie get many hertz ... maybe even mega hertz

Tom Dooley


Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Poor boy, you’re bound to die

I met her on the mountain, there I took her life
Met her on the mountain, stabbed her with my knife

Chorus

This time tomorrow,
reckon where I’ll be
Hadn’t-a been for Grayson,
I’d-a been in Tennessee (well now, boy)

Hang down (your head) your head (Dooley) and cry
Hang down your head and cry (ah poor boy, ah well-ah)
Hang down (your head) your head (Dooley) and cry
Poor boy, you’re bound to die (ah well now boy)

Hang down (your head) your head (Dooley) and cry
Hang down your head and cry (ah poor boy, ah well-ah)
Hang down (your head) your head (Dooley) and cry
Poor boy, you’re bound to die

This time tomorrow,
reckon where I’ll be
Down in some lonesome valley
hangin’ from a white oak tree

Chorus

Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry (poor boy ah well uh)
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Poor boy, you’re bound to die
Poor boy, you’re bound to die
Poor boy, you’re bound to die
Poor boy, you’re bound to .......die

I bet it's not much fun in a urethral catheter either....

...which when taken out of context...

This is your exit strategy for the conversation? You don't get away that easily.

Someone (I forget who now and I'm not digging through 700+ posts) actually posted what the Bible has to say on civil authority. You said the founders of our great country should have been constrained in their undertaking by submission to God's Word. You were proven wrong. Conversation over.

I'm sure that the ALCU is gining up a final appeal and some court somewhere will figure it has enough juristiction to try and stop the process.

Gray Davis would have denied clemency also. This is a state in which support for the death penalty is wide and deep. There's not much support for clemency, which would benefit serial killers, a group for whom there's not much public sympathy. I don't see how the decision could have come down any other way today.

I wish Arnold had waited until 11:55 PM to announce this, it would have been much more dramatic, like in the old movies, with the warden keeping the line open...but no call comes.

The variations in heart rate are so significant as to render your theory very useless.

You folks in California better head to wal mart and get some shotgun shells and extra ammo for your pistol.

I will be surprised if there is rioting. One thing the street thugs understand is that other thugs get juiced sometimes. A dead man is old news.

An object met with its own frequency is destroyed.

I can see granting mercy in exceptional circumstances and politics should never factor into it. Williams wasn't exactly a poster child for grace.
