And the really scary part is that is seems from all indications that this is 
what the people WANT.  I think we are on the verge of a very 'bloody' era.

It will probably take public executions and the like until people realize
just how sanguine we have/are become[ing].

I too understand the arguments on both side of the Capital Punishment debate,
and although I agree that there are probably quite a few people in prison
who """deserve""" to die, that doesn't mean it is right to kill them.
