Here's my lobby effort for bringing back a hemp rope as the method of execution. I think I wouldn't lose much sleep pulling the trap door on this guy.
1. No poison released to the environment
2. No Greenhouse Gasses produced
3. No load on the power grid
4. Recyclable
5. Reusable
6. Body is useful for parting out
Just a final thought, if we are not willing to do this publically, should we do it at all?
