Well it's election day, and yes, I voted. Who I voted for is none of your business, but you can probably guess...
The line was only five minutes, but the folks at the voting precinct said turn-out had been good all day, which is a good thing.
Here's the idea part...
This week there have been 8, count them, 8 murders in Columbia. That's right, little Columbia, SC is turning into a city with real crime and real problems. It may be a tad radical and way right-wing, but I have an idea to help curtail the behaviour that is propogating itself in SC and all across the country. Have actual punishment for crime. Going to prison isn't punishment anymore. You get three meals, a warm bed, a facility to workout and cable TV, all on the taxpayers nickel. There is the constant threat of being stuck with a shiv or becoming the personal propety of a 350 lb. dude named Bubba or LeRoy, but to be honest, if you thought out the crime, however poorly, those thoughts should have entered the decision making process.
You want to be in a gang? Well, you can...it's called a chain gang. You want to workout while in the joint? Make 'em break big rocks into little rocks.
Here's the radical part that a lot of people may agree with, but will likely never admit it...
If there are credible witnesses, evidence that proves the crime was committed by the accused (including DNA) and the prosecution has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused is guilty, then the punishment should be swift AND public.
Bring back the gallows. I'm not talking about one or two times or here and there...
Schedule it for the 2nd Tuesday of every month. People will say, "Hey, it's Tuesday, let's go have lunch at the gallows..."
Screw the ACLU and all of the knee jerk liberals that will say that it's cruel and unusual. Most of the crimes committed by the assholes on death row didn't afford the victims the same courtesy that we give the inmates.
Illegal aliens in prison? Put 'em on a C-130 with parachutes and drop 'em back over their home country, a la WW2. It'll be like illegal felon paratroopers.
I'm pretty live and let live, as far as it goes, but Sweet Baby Jesus, it's time to make a change.

behaviour???? Learn how to spell behavior. Then we can talk about education Mr. Mom... or is that the way the French spell it?
That's the correct, old, English way of spelling it. I'm sorry they didn't teach you such things in high school...across the river. I'd be willing to bet they taught you how to skin a possum though...
So, how you gonna throw some "old english" in like that? F.. with me and I'll throw a Jihad on you, dirka dirka!
Let's talk about your first post over at beardedclamsandsuch...
It looked like you lost both of your hands in an industrial accident and typed it with your nubs! Don't lecture me about proper spelling, especially when wither form is acceptable. Learn some punctuation and grammar. Who are you, Borat's slow brother?

Excuse me! That should say 'either', not 'wither'...
