Guillotine!!!! Guillotine!!!!!

Folks think Im absolutely nutz when I talk about the Great Cull..when
all one needs to do is look at France..circa 1789

That was in a time long, long ago in a country that was far,
far away. Rather than simply adopting obsolete foreign
practices, it would appear better to put a distinctive
American stamp on new and updated procedures.

For example, rather than hauling the prisoners to the site
of executions in a tumbrel*, a clapped out rusty/crusty
pick-up with a stock rack or cage in the bed would seem
suitable. A few left over cow patties in the bed from the
last trip to the sales barn or slaughterhouse would seem
appropriate.

Hanging or lynching is much more in keeping with American
traditions than beheading, and firing squads, although very
popular in Latin America, have largely been limited to
military executions in this country. One possible update is
the substitution of polypropylene rope for hemp rope, both
because of the cost savings, and the wider availability of
polypropylene. The traditional 13 turn noose knot can also
be eliminated, as most any slip knot should work, saving yet
more rope.


Actually..barbed wired works far better as a hanging medium. We have
millions and millions of miles of it, it doesnt rot or stretch, and it
has a very good load bearing range for the fatties.

And it can be found just about anywhere.

But yeah..I like the idea of the 71 Dodge pickup as a tundrel. Perhaps
one tire should be obviously low for charector and very poorly spray
painted in spray can flat black as something of a ID symbol.

Good thinking!

It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an
