In Texarse the powers have be have recorded death row inmates last words before the big hurrah.

It's amazing how everyone gets religious, and creepily, some maintain their innocence.

Don't plough into it if you're on a downer, trust me it's a right old buzz kill.

Funny you should post that. I was reading it yesterday. Its quite interesting some of the statements. Fairly lacking in comedy.

I thought it might be a repost, I've seen it a few other places.

I'm going to stop looking at it now, I want to sleep tonight.

That is one long list of people put to death by the state.

Spooky bits in that. Cost of the drugs in the lethal injection $86.08.

Sobering stuff reading some of the last statements.

My last words would be "Look 65 MPH in a 60 is not dangerous ONE BIT, and electrocution seems a little extreme"

It is, but then again, the list of people put to death by the people on that list is even longer.

I'm not a supporter capital punishment.

But then, you read the offender information on the child rapists/killers...

Read their "offender information". I doubt you'd be using the smilie still.

You'd think he would have had some time to prepare...

Got to fly to Mexico this month, was planning to go through Dallas Fort Worth... I think I'll go through o'Hare instead!

Point taken - it does put it back into perspective a little. 431 is particularly grim.

Yes sir, Warden Okay I've been hanging around this popsicle stand way too long. Before I leave, I want to tell you all. When I die, bury me deep, lay two speakers at my feet, put some headphones on my head and rock and roll me when I'm dead. I'll see you in Heaven someday. That's all Warden.

That's the spirit

On a more serious note, whilst the drivel spouted by 431 might seem profound, a brief look at what he did puts his fate into context.

It really is hard to have much sympathy for his plight, and difficult to see how the world is not a better place for his absence.
