Only one movie left me with really *vivid* memories of one of its
scenes.  It was a scene of an execution in a gas chamber.  When I
first saw it it brought home to me how barbaric capital punishment is.

Now whenever I hear of an execution I get revolted and have to turn off
the news.  I also find can't stop thinking about it for several days.
Apart from my belief that nobody either singly or collectively
has the right to take another person's life, what makes it so revolting
is the cold, dispassionate brutal premeditation of it.

The film was called "Hoodlum Priest" and starred Keir Dullea.

It is not my intention to start a discussion about capital punishment.
Direct flames to net.flame and reasonable comments to me via mail.
Do not send any followups to net.movies.
