We are using exactly the same barbaric and distorted methods of meating out justice through power now, as were used then. 'Democracy day' may also need a new name. Democracy is now being seen in it's true colours in the middle east. Lets call our 'day off' something else. Something that dosn't carry the stench of death. How bout 'Day off' day.<br /><br />fellow traveller.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35095812.post-3995978707348497292007-02-02T22:47:00.000+00:002007-02-02T22:47:00.000+00:00Beheading is for the French.

(see earlier posts on the death penalty)<br /><br />Just sack them, evict them from the homes owned by the nation, and then send them a bill for all their back-taxes.<br /><br />Maybe then we could employ them as guides at historic sites - afterall monarchists always tell us how good teh royal family are for tourism. We could make some great reality TV from this too ...Journeymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06537094981931276738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35095812.post-18652176728076961312007-02-02T00:49:00.000+00:002007-02-02T00:49:00.000+00:00It's a great idea!

Could take a while but at least we'd get some more practice at execution, we obviously need some. We could also have an official 'Democracy Day' and a real 'democracy day'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
