Execution

Upon watching the end of Boston and Legal season 1, I was deeply moved by the very last scene in which a man struggles against guards seconds before being put to death. Alan Shaw who attempted to prevent the death penalty is sat down a few metres away, with a face that could only be described as aghast with horror.

He sees the darkness in people's hearts. And his visit to Texas only deepened his despair in humanity.

If you put emotions aside, the death penalty has no positive results. The criminals can either die or be locked up. There is no threat to society either way. And problematically, miscarriages of justice do happen.
It just shows. USA is the country of 'freedom and prosperity'. Yet some states in America think it's okay for the government to kill off undesirable criminals. Hang on? Did I say undesirable? Sounds similar to the eugenic policies of a certain German political party that was stamped out (mostly by America coincidentally) in 1945. Anyway I'm not really bashing America. Texans and Californians...silly silly people.

Just been playing Silent Hill 3. I think it may become a favourite, I'm getting more abrupt scares than I did with SH-The Room. For instance, when I walked into a room of headless mannequins apart from one with the head attached, I turned a corner and suddenly heard a squeak and a large thump following it. Quickly looking back, I found the previously intact mannequin beheaded with blood around the torso and the neck. A freaky moment with my hairs standing on end -yes...this is the thrill I wanted from Silent Hill!
