[QUOTE="Werewolf, post: 1604526, member: 239"] The 8th amendment to the constitution prohibits the use of cruel or unusual punishment. The problem with that is who gets to decide what constitutes cruel and/or unusual. The definition seems to change with the times. Microwaving to death parents who microwaved their kids, though an appropriate method, would not be condoned under current law. Who knows though: If the plague of Political Correctness currently running rampant in the US ever gets stamped out maybe implementing the death penalty in a way appropriate to the crime commited will become acceptable. Then again IMO it is more likely that the sun will flicker out tomorrow than it is that PC will be eradicated. Just sayin'... [/QUOTE]
