There aren't many secular governments. But the ones backed by an overt theological bent seem to have a peculiar horror to them.

If only we could put it down just to theocracy. I'm not so sure. It seems to me that these decisions are not down to religion. Even in secular politics, it would appear life is chaep.

One can expect no better from the barbarian lands in the West. Theocracy is always dangerous animal.

Horrid Bush 3 has suspended executions in Florida (he'll never catch up with Texas now) because a man took 34 minutes to die and that is "cruel and unusual punishment".
