We should reinstitute Hanging, Drawing, and Quartering. If you didn't know, it was a medieval English punishment for treason. The traitor was hung until nearly dead, cut down, cut open, bowels pulled out and burnt in front of them (while still alive) and beheaded, the body is cut into quarters which are placed on display in different parts of the country. The head was typically stuck on a pike on London Bridge.

Just a little English history. :wink:

I thought drawn and quartered was some torture/killing method where all limbs were roped onto horses and the horses wipped in different directions... according to my Christian friend...

You should have read the first post of this when it CNN's website. One wonderful tidbit left out of all the revisions was that our lovely young Texan lady, in between bouts of apologizing, passed some of the time having sex with her boyfriend. That was removed from the story within the first three hours of the posting though.

What I find disturbing about that statement is that it implies that the people who absorb the media also thrive on bad news... :(

its true.  when theres are car accident, why is there ALWAYS traffic? because people want to see. And bad things dont really happen that often, so we dont get numbed to it. SO when something does happen, we just have to see it.  And that what the media thrives off of.  Channel 2 ACTION news.
