What a day. It rained buckets here, so traffic sucked. I got into it with a friend over the death penalty. Not a close friend, just someone I met online and never in person. Says I, "even turkey has gotten rid of the death penalty." Says she, "yeah, 'cause they're dumb." *sigh*
I went and picked up my first load of grease in months. It feels nice to be back on the bio. Since diesel's selling for $2.25 and up here, the $3/gal price of bio is getting more and more worth it. On the way home, I stopped at the liquore store. This place is pimping every monk in Belgium. You can mix and match 6 brews and get 5% off; 12 gets you 10% off. I only got 2. Then I went to the Eckerd and got 50% off Easter candy.
When I got home, I found 2 Zippos waiting in the mailbox! I heart Zippos.
The put lime in my friggin' Coke. I didn't notice the green effin' stripe on my 12 pack. Turns out it's lime. WTF? But I mixed it up with some Evan Williams anyway, and all seems to be ok.
Oh, the rant I was gonna write a few days ago... yeah. How 'bout, if you cut me off and almost take off my front end, and I justifiably blow my horn, you *not* flip me off as if *I* did something wrong. How 'bout it, huh? 'Cause I'm gonna fuckin' chase your ass and stick you in my motherfuckin' shoes, bitch! An' if you run a fuckin' red light to get away from me, I'm runnin' the fucker, too. Bitch! Chicken shit, motherfucker! Bitch!
But I love all of you!

Oh yeah...how is the Coke w/ Lime? I've been drinking Diet Coke with real limes for years (Willy's rocks...lemons AND limes available at the Coke fountain!). I tried the Diet Coke /w fake Lime added by Coke, and I didn't like it.
That said, I do like a bit of real lime when I'm drinking Rum & Coke. I skip the lime when I'm drinking Whiskey/Bourbon & Coke.
Even if you accept the premise that killers should be killed, you must admit that while there's a possibility that a single innocent person can me executed, nobody may be executed.
I don't have a major issue with the appeals process when there's a chance that the person's trial wasn't fair or accurate. When Brian Nichols shot and killed a judge and court reporter in front of however many witnesses, the margin of error became 0. He was already identified, multiple reliable witnesses saw what happened. The victims are definitely dead.
At this point, I say his fate should be in the hands of the families of the victims. If they all agree that he should die, execute him that day. He is not an innocent man.
In the other case I mentioned, there is a slight possibility that the confession was coerced. If he enters a guilty plea in front of a judge, his execution shouldn't take too much longer. If he wants a trial, and that is well within his rights, then he is open to the appeals process afterwards.
