Of recent events and other psychobabble nonsense.

I like how my thought process pans out and how I discover new words to broaden my vocabulary.

When I think of certain things, if I cannot find the word that I want to describe something I think of something similar to it and the thesaurus becomes my best friend. I am a sucker for finding synonyms’, a word I can barely say without some sort of speech tripping.

For example, I was having a discussion with my friend about how Saddam was hung and just my thoughts that hangings were so, old fashion, but I didn’t want to use those words precisely to describe what I thought of it. So I looked up ancient in the dictionary, then checked its synonyms, I found the precise word to describe what I thought about hangings. Archaic. This is a word that means of or relating to, or characteristic of a much earlier, often more primitive period. It was a perfect fit to describe my feelings towards hanging which I also included such ancient punishments as being plunge to death by a rock which is referred to as stoning.

I guess that I felt that hanging were a rather primitive form of death, not that I agree with the death penalty anyway (which is a far more in depth feelings of why or why not.) But I figure if someone’s going to be put to death it should be done by something that would be modern and up to date. Not to say that I want him shot to death by an oozy, but rather lethal injection might have been a less ‘archaic’ form of the death penalty carried out.

I’m a bleeding heart liberal so I suppose my compassion for humanity comes out here, I am all for justice, but I tend to lean towards a more empathetic side than rule by an iron fist.

I guess my thoughts on the matter are; what’s next 5 days in the stocks? Are we going to bring back dungeons? Or should we have just nailed him to a cross? Or are crosses reserved for those who will be considered our savior later on?
