As for martyrdom, I reckon this guys got one of them thar versions of the bible that was revised by the same outfit that revised Bin Laden's copy of the Koran. Hey, I got an alternative to the death penalty. Commute all death penalties and put all death row inmates to work at hard labor. Let 'em build roads. Once every 12 mos, schedule a "retributive pain therapy" session where you invite the cops who arrest Rodney King over to beat them within an inch of their life -- truly injurious stuff. Then, give them 3 mos. in a hospital to heal, then back to hard labor, and begin the cycle over again. That would be SOOOO COOL. For added social good, each beatings session can be attended by up to 3 family members of the victims. Bladed weapons of less than 3 inches should be allowed, too. Okay, enough daydreaming.... back to work.

Good idea! Put that up on paper, I'm calling pay-per view to offer them the publication rights, we'll make a fortune...
