i'm sorry, you're too old to be on death row, and you had a heart attack, and they RESUSCIATED you so they could kill you again? (a) why did they resuscitate you? couldn't you say that, of all things, was already cruel and unusual? it isn't a nice procedure, i hear. and that's a reason to go with: you died already. you beat 'em to it. Now you have to watch your salt intake and i'm sure prison food isn't healthy. (b) i obviously don't have the respect for my elders that some of them clearly think i ought to, but Fuck Off, Mister My Last Appeal Fell Through. being old and "infirm" but still being quite obviously able to continue to order assassinations of people you don't like from prison makes you not too old to be processed. Bitch.

And i could say that i don't feel like discussing my beliefs on the death penalty but there are sure to be people around that disagree with me - it's a very, very nuanced thing, see, there's a lot of grey in it as opposed to all your black and white bullshit, and a lot of loopholes i suppose (more than there are in american courts, but also which, as it happens, being old is not one of) - since i don't particularly want to explain it. i think i feel about the death penalty how (was it clinton? it was somebody) a random pol felt about abortion: utterly failsafe (dna evidence, et c. - because this is MY perfect world), legal, and rare.
