It really made my day (on a difficult day) to learn that there is a nation that has the death penalty on the books but can't find anybody motivated to carry it out. I mean, really, in that whole huge country with over a billion people, many of whom could use some quick cash, they can't fill this temp job? Granted that Hindus and Jains would have religious issues around killing, there are still great numbers of Muslims, Christians, Parsis, Sikhs and so forth, and none of them is stepping forward either. Looking on from the USA, where many states continue to practice this type of legally sanctioned murder, I find this report inspiring, and would not file it under 'silly'. (Though it is pretty funny that the one old guy who volunteered for the job didn't live long enough to carry it out.)<br /><br />God bless India.Mary Claranoreply@blogger.com
