the day before his scheduled
execution? to have some control
over his time of exit

John Brown on the gallows
before hanged after seized
by Robert E Lee:

Father forgive them for they
know not what they do.
-Jesus Christ- (this quote was spoken in the last hours of his life but is
not his final words, according to the KJV)
It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known.
(said by a man who volunteered to
go to the guillotine in the place
of another)
-Charles Dickens- in A Tale of Two Cities
(such guillotines in miniature form are used in pharmaceutical, govt. and
corporate labs to murder captive
mice and rats)

We who are about to die salute you.
(said by Roman slave gladiators to Caesar and Roman crowds gathered to
enjoy a bloodsport... now captive soldiers die for war profiteers
and 'theocratic' country hatred)

As the Bush regime has given expanded illegitimate power to Gonzales to hasten
governmental murder of prisoners in Terre Haute as well as in states
which have not executed for over 100 years, we pray to the God inside and outside
all beings to end all forms of violence to any being on the planet now and always.
