Um, I have mixed feelings on this.  How many recipients are still around?  They don't mention how many living women they screwed over.  Shoddy reporting by http://www.newsobserver.com

If it's a handful of women, a deal could be easily worked out.  And be affordable.  Make an effort people.

North Carolina And Sea Level Rise

Genius...make it illegal.  Why didn't we think of that???  We could have made it illegal for all those Glaciers to melt, and everything would be fine.  It could have saved a lot of Penguins.

About the only thing stupider than this, is the US House of "Representatives" passing law after law that THEY KNOW will fail in the Senate.  In a word, moving "backwards"..

NC Rep Larry Pittman

In a letter to the state legistlature:

“We need to make the death penalty a real deterrent again by actually carrying it out. Every appeal that can be made should have to be made at one time, not in a serial manner,” Pittman wrote in the email. “If murderers (and I would include abortionists, rapists, and kidnappers, as well) are actually executed, it will at least have the deterrent effect upon them. For my money, we should go back to public hangings, which would be more of a deterrent to others, as well.”

Nice guy...
