Writer's Block: Ride the lightning

[Error: unknown template qotd]
Nawp. One of my main gripes about capital punishment - aside from its irreversibility - is the interminable appeals, counter-appeals, and infinite billable hours for attorneys on both sides. All this does is to make bottom-feeders rich, raise public blood pressure, and drain government coffers.

I think being deprived of liberty for life is a much more severe punishment, because the evil-doer will die anyway, some day, and thus faces both temporal and Eternal punishment.
