I

with
Mike Rapin
When the rantings and ravings of Mike Rapin
fill up among his small group of listeners, he turns to the digital pen
and paper. Expect nothing less than irrational cries about meaningless
anythings and possibly a logical idea here or there, but nonetheless hilarious
(for those with a real sense of humor).

Saddam
Saddam is gonna hang! Oh my! Sure this
is late news, but by golly he's a-hangin'! I saw a news report on my local
Michigan station about this whole ordeal. The reporters were in Dearborn,
Michigan--the second largest Arab population of any community in the United
States--and it was portrayed as if every person in the city was ecstatic
for Saddam's hanging.
My question is: is the Muslim/Arabic community
really that excited for Saddam's death? And if so, wow.
I'm going to assume that the answer to
my question is yes. This leads me to think but one thing: people (not just
Arab people, everyone) love to watch someone die--especially those who
deserve it tenfold. If we think back to about, oh lets say 1789 or so:
the French Revolution. Antoine Lavoisier, Marie Antoinette, King Louis
XVI all beheaded publicly. As the story goes for all of them, their heads
were cut off and the crowd cheered afterwards. They effing cheered to watching
someone die! (And people call my generation desensitized!) Now, I'm not
saying that I'm against capitol punishment, but damn! watching someone
get their head chopped off--with the blood and the steam (given the temperature)
and the loss of the bowels--that's just plain sick.
Call me a pansy, but I think that beheading
is more fucked up than a hanging or even gassing/drowning.
My point here is that capitol punishment
is necessary, but only if it's a last resort. Saddam, in my opinion, deserves
torture (see also: Sin City's Deputy John Hartigan), and in the end it
all comes down to what kind of "treatment" he gets. To me, for the shit
he did, he deserves anything but death, and it should fucking hurt...for
years.
Finishing quick thought--Top 5 capitol
punishments:
1. Scaphism
2. Sawing
3. Disembowelment
4. Flaying
5. Blood Eagle
(Those are in no order)
