""Why on freaking earth does it take 22 YEARS to carry out a sentence?""
Really. In singapore they just hung a guy shortly after he was convicted of posessing some dope and trying to get on a plane.
He dies tomorrow.

Maybe they can have Scott Peterson join him tonight!
Well that might a little too quick :). I prefer something in the range of 1 conviction 2 appeals withing 2 years and sentence execution. It's unfair to the victims to have the convicted killer on stage for 22 years. Really a sham.
Ahnold shocked me. I thought they were completely nuts out west.
We are a nation of laws. Start messing with that and you might be surprised by the result. Remember we have a very free and vocal minority in this country.
If the voting public wants to stop the practice of state sanctioned killing they need to vote in people who will do their bidding at the legislature. Until then, it's the law.
