I know you guys don't like fox news but this just seems like a step in the wrong direction,I've had a heart attack and I think I would prefere that over electricution, I don't know about you guys
but the ele.chair seems a lot more painful and and a few short min's or seconds being zapped in the chair would seem like a life time of pain.

    Guilty as charged
    But damn it, it ain't right
    There is someone else controlling me

    Death in the air
    Strapped in the electric chair
    This can't be happening to me

    Who made you God to say
    "I'll take your life from you!"

    Flash before my eyes
    Now it's time to die
    Burning in my brain
    I can feel the flames

    Be Excellent To Each Other
    Party On, Dudes!

    "Lethal drug scarcity"? And yet we have plenty of Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, Xanax etc. to keep American hooked. TN must have a surplus of electricity.

    What next- reinstate hanging? We really are a violent society.

    What we should do, actually, is stop killing people. That way the electric chair wouldn't even be a topic of discussion.

    Think of this a bit. Can we leave our evolved violent tendencies behind. We love violent movies, MMA, cock fighting, bull fighting, rubber necking gruesome accidents. Are we just violent animals that will always gravitate towards violence? Are there other human cultures that have progressed? Is it really progressing? Is the government and media partially to blame?

    And it starts with the state. It's not a solution.

    Wrong. Very, very wrong.

    It doesn't start with the state... get serious for gawds sakes. The accountability for 'murder' lies exclusively with the 'murderer'.

    Put as succinctly as possible: If the individual doesn't go and murder someone, the state- and you and I- wouldn't have the problem of deciding what is and what isn't an appropriate response given what has been shoved down our throats.

    Leave people alone- there's your solution.

    Better yet have people stop killing people.

    Educate them.

    Many entities should heed that advice. Let's start with the Federal Govt.

    Do you seriously think your country would fare well without the services provided by the federal government?

    Oh don't disagree starts with the murderer from the time they are conceived and the environment they're in. Education, livable wage, equality, medical.

    So why not just remove this practice from our society? Theres conflicting data that it even does any good......other than feeding thirst of vengeance by the masses. Telling members of society "don't kill but we can". and killing is a solution.

    Just seems like an easy quick way to get to the place we want, violence free society, assuming everyone really wants that. We may just be a violent species and take or be taken .

    There's a balance. Do I think we get rid of all or list Perry tried to spew?, don't trust corporations to do right thing.

    I think the Federal Government should provide the services that the Constitution authorizes it to and other services should be left up to the states to administer.
