Do you support the Death Penalty

[Scam of God]

N, I do not support it.

And let there be no mistake: anyone who professes to be a great lover of liberty and still upholds this practice is a hypocrite and a charlatan of the most base sort. For, firstly, the death penalty is the ultimate and total realization of the State’s desire to monopolize lethal force; for centuries the State has sought a method by which to buttress its waning power in the face of popular demands for liberty, and for just as long the people have been more than obliging in sacrificing their freedom to it in exchange for the etherealities of security and the feeling of peace with the world. Until such a day comes when the mindless masses are no longer led about by their collective nose at the mere thought of some unfathomable Other cavorting about their yards at night, it is prudent that we dispose of the barbaric penalty so as to preserve some semblance of republicanism as against mob rule.

Likewise, the politicization in the service of a socialistic cultural cause is repugnant to me. If we in this country were more open to absolute freedom - that is, the sort of freedom that would permit a Michael Dukakis to express his antipathy towards the thing without costing him ten states instantaneously - then it would seem quite likely to me that fewer individuals would be reduced to channeling their latent aggressiveness into a murderous outlet. Quite frankly, statistics show that three-fourths of all State-sponsored executions relate back ultimately to the prohibition against narcotics; remove said prohibition and one removes the impetus for murder in a vast majority of cases.

If the drug business were not pushed underground (owing, of course, to the moralistic impulses of the Mediocratic Median, who have always had the political instincts of an ancient race horse in the glue factory), then it is patently obvious that our homicide rate should decline concurrently with the easing of restrictions against the trade, hence obviating the need for the death penalty as a so-called deterrent. This particular form of social engineering is not only harmful, it is downright predatory: it seeks to pit our socially-inveighed morals against our own individual consciences.

But the Big-Government-Conservatives (i.e.Reaganists) who hold the real power down yonder will ultimately have their way -- and who can argue against them? After all, it was the oh-so-liberal Nixon who first declared the War on Drugs, as well as the War on Brown-Skinned Cambodians- and the one ties inextricably into the Other: the Brownies must die so that the pure Lilywhites might preserve. Such is the innate hierarchy of values in the Union of Racially-Socialist Republics (the old Confederacy), and such is its priorities. The raw hatred of a genuinely free-market (a free-market for drugs or for life) runs deep in the swampy heartland of pseudo-patriotism; it is the mucky blood that runs through its ivy-throttled veins.

But what do I know? I might as well go back to my booze-buzz. After all, it's not like any tried-and-true Reaganist quasi-libertarian would ever publicly admit to agreeing with me, for fear that he might splinter his rapidly-decaying Coalition.
