Yes - so-called etiquette can be so oppressive

Thanks for reading, anyway.
Every click counts just the same. Besides, I do that all the time, as well.

My mother thought that, too.
And, you both
>would have been correct ... had this still been, like, the
1600s. The descent in a "modern" hanging is not nearly so severe.
Not sure
anything from "The Mummy" could qualify as "classic", however.

I heard,
that you can die either of broken neck or asphyxiation from hanging (depending on the length of the fall). Well. It was in the movie "The Mummy". Handsome american in egypt being hung for some crime; he falls; quoth smelly foriegner: "his neck did not break. Now he will be slowly strangled to death". Beautiful english archeaologist: he knows the location of Hamunaptra. / You lie! / Never! / Cue bargaining for the man's life with strangling noises in the background.
One of the greatest movie moments ever.

Awareness of death penalties may be negative reinforcement to deter crime. Usually, the potential offenders are not the readers. ;(

Yes, Vane. However, all the inmates have...
the option of choosing "lethal injection" instead.

I'm sure his loneliness and isolation...
was a substantial part of it, Marshallengraved. Still be wise to avoid any future contact, however.

I have been corresponding with a Death Row inmate...
for about 2 years...this man who was jailed in Arizona always claimed his innocence...i have written a controversial article about him...and the family of the murdered people went mad at me and started telling me that i was "brainless" to correspond with this man, that he was a viscious murderer and that i could end up as his victim easily... only one thing leaves me with no answer, i have studied this man's court files from 2003 and Death Row files...he has always been nice and polite in his letters, but suddenly in 2005, he started writing me love letters and love poems and he really scared me away...i have stopped corresponding with him since January 2005... Do you think that his loneliness made him act like that? Or is this man really bad intentioned or mad???

Yeah, that's pretty much my take, too.
Oh, and, the answers will be attached, when I add the second part of the quiz.

Eagerly awaiting those answers, Madame!
And also re: the death penalty...MY two cents...
Serial Killers DEFINTELY deserve to be put to death. So does anyone who harms children. But I think, all in all, it (the death penalty as a whole) needs to be overhauled a bit. I'm not necessarily against it...but not 100% for it, either...

Well, billy cargo, I usually try to remain objective.
I don't oppose the death penalty in theory (when the person has clearly been proven guilty)... however, I
do oppose it's current implementation. The vast majority of those awaiting death, do so primarily because they couldn't afford a better lawyer.
