Big questions still remain about death penalty

No, LITTLE questions still remain about the death penalty. Trivial, picayune questions. Immaterial questions. Dishonest, delaying, obfuscating questions asked by liars, fools, and traitors.

The big questions about the death penalty were answered a long time ago ... in the Old Testament.

Judge Isaac Parker had an expert hangman who figured out that placing the knot just behind the left ear jerked the neck in just the right fashion as to be quick and relatively painless.

Convicted murderers have NO constitutional right to a 100% pain-free execution, but Judge Parker's hangman came pretty dang close. In a career spanning over a decade, be did not have a single botched hanging.

With all the sleezebags we have on death row awaiting execution, I'm sure we could develop someone with the skill of Judge Parker's hangman with just a little more practice. Heck, I'm willing to volunteer if needed.
