I am listening to ' Flowdreaming ' with Summer McStravick. Good stuff this, it works too, I have never been busier !
I have decided that I am not going to listen to the news anymore. I came to this conclusion last week, well New year's eve, when Saddam Hussein was hung. Now I don't like the things he did, he was a prize twat in a loving world, BUT I did have some issues with the whole thing.
1) If he had to be hung, this should have been done in a totally private situation. Not only did we get to see ( if we looked and I didn't ) the act occurring, but it turned into a circus, with it being filmed, and also made him into a martyr.
2) What did it achieve...oooh I know... more deaths.....mmm useful.
3) It didn't hurt him. Capital punishment never punishes the naughty. It punishes the family. Ok so it probably scared him a bit and annoyed him, but once it was done, that was it....he didn't know about it.
4) This would have been a prime situation for the US to step in and gain back some moral high ground.
5) It would have been better to put him in jail..and let others who cared for him look after him. This would have made more of a statement than the death penalty.
As I said I am going to live on the Island of Sodor. Capital punishment does not exist there, neither do the news items, I don't think it is closing myself off to being educated, I read Jung, I know lots of important stuff. I just don't want the negativity,( and let's face it, that's what it is in the main) in my life.
My theory about the best punishment for people, is to put them in a place far away ( or even near ) from their families and say " we're not going to kill you, but it is up to your family to take care of you..." they would have to feed you, clean you and take care of you. It would not be up to the state to pay for you, you would have to be looked after by your family, and when their interest dried up...then you would get your come uppance....
I know I will be criticised for this....well this is what I think ( and by the way, which one's pink ?)
