@rick,
While you're comment takes it a step further; I agree and didn't think about the murderer getting the option to choose.
Over the years I've heard a lot of talk about rehabilitating these animals and quite possibly some can change but the change is irrelevant in my opinion. Just as you said they gave up their rights but I'll add that they did so by stripping another human being of their God given right to life.
Their victims have no option to be rehabilitated and neither should they. It is a bit troubling that we are so concerned about the most humane way to rid our society of these murderers while in many of the cases their victims were murdered in the most disgusting, inhumane way imaginable. (perfect example: Christopher Newsom and Shannon Christian murder.)
I'm not saying that I believe lethal injection, electrocution, or the firing squad either one are right. In fact I don't know that I approve of any of them, but what I do believe is that as a convicted criminal and murderer why does he get the opportunity to CHOOSE? It's not right. The men he killed did not get a choice in how they were murdered so why does he get to choose? They should simply take that allowance away from death row inmates and simply choose on their own how they will be put to death. Death row inmates, just like any other inmate gave up their rights the moment they decided to break the law and were punished. They should not be allowed to choose anything!
From the description of the photos listed it seems to me the public and media are just blowing it out of proportion. They actually do sound artistic to me. Her ability to lead should be based on many factors, but this should NOT be one of them.
In my personal opinion there is an enormous difference between artistic photos and porn. If these images were truly artistic and weren't pornographic in nature then I see no impact these photos would have with Julia's ability to represent the 32nd district of Tennessee in the house of representatives.
Julia Hurly is a former hooters employee and has been modeling since the age of 5. She is a Maryville College graduate and now owns her own online sports paraphernalia marketing firm.
So just how racy are the photos of this political candidate?
According to KnoxNews.com:
"In one photo, Hurley has rope coiled around her breasts while she tips a hat with one hand and holds the rope in the other.
Another photo, part of a series called "Out of Frame," has Hurley, dressed in what she calls a "full black body suit similar to a leotard" and wearing knee-high black boots while stepping through a picture frame she's holding at an angle.
Those photos are part of a series that was taken about five years ago. Hurley called them "very artistic." Source: http://tinyurl.com/34uueel "
Ronnie Lee Gardner was on trial for the murder of a bartender named Melvyn Otterstrom when the crime that earned him the death sentence was committed.
“Although he was handcuffed and surrounded by prison guards, a female acquaintance slipped Gardner a loaded, long-barreled .22-caliber handgun in the basement of the building just before the shooting. He shot Burdell in the head, wounded a court bailiff and was himself shot in the right shoulder before being captured on the courthouse lawn as he tried to flee.”
The process of the Utah’s Death by Firing Squad:
1. The inmate is given the opportunity to speak their last words.
2. The inmate is strapped down with their head covered with a black hood and a target is placed on the inmates chest/heart.
3. Five volunteer police officers take aim and await the countdown directive to fire at the inmates heart.
4. Four out of the five round fired are live but one is a blank ” … so no one would know who fired the fatal shots.”
5. A countdown is conducted in a 5-4-3-2-1 manor with the shots being executed at the sound of 2.
6. The inmate is examined for vital signs and the hood is removed to expose their face.
7. Assuming everything went as planned they are pronounced dead.

You and me both. I've been loosely following this very issue for a while now and one of the front men is Anthony Wiener, a self proclaimed progressive; which should explain a few things.
Considering islam was founded by a mass murdering pedophile and that islam does in fact condone killing non-believers, islam should not even be allowed to exist in the USA or the world. Some may think that is harsh but take a look at their pedophile prophet muhammad's little book of hate (the quran)some time.
It's astronomy NOT astrology gooberhead. Astrology is the belief that the alignment of the stars and and planets influence your personality, love life, etc. Only mush brained people believe in that crap.
The only thing I spiritually link to is peanut butter M&M's. Oh, and really good New England clam chowder.

Anything is possible and if it's something you feel a calling to do. Go for it.
I honestly plan on running for office years down the road when I can confidently say I have enough knowledge in my head to make a difference.
