I go back and forth on the death penalty. I don't see the purpose as a deterrant nor as a punishment. I'd rather die than spend the rest of my life in jail.

I do have to admit that I am fascinated with the guillotine as a mechanism of death. Go figure.

I've a book you would probably love, then. It's called 'Legacy of Death', and it's about the Sanson family of executioners in France. Great book.

Now *that's* a book recommendation. Cool!
