Re: Make Capital Punishment Pay-Per-View

But people still want it, so why don't we make it useful? Make capital punishment a pay-per-view event on cable TV. Perform several in an evening, so you can have a ticket. Instead of "Friday Night at the Fights," there could be "Friday Night on Death Row."

I think the idea has merit.
I am completely against capital punishment on religious grounds, so since we're already doing it, I agree with you PhiPsiRuss...let's do it all out.
