1. I am staunchly opposed to the death penalty but knowing how (intentionally) inept

officials (SUPPOSEDLY in consultation with some type of medical/pharmaceutical advisor) have been at lethal injection--skipping any rational 3-drug protocol for a mere painful and slowly agonizing single drug... Well this is to say if they are going to do it, I have come to the conclusion that a firing squad might be the quickest and least lingering, suffering death. Of course the anticipation is quite another thing. But, clearly the powers that be don't care about an effective nearly immediate (and yes, compassionate) death.

But, I remain staunchly and determinedly opposed to the death penalty.
