From Karma...for posterity...

they have misinterpreted their roles as instruments of the will of the state, or how they simply need to reframe their tasks in order to transform their work into an "actualization" exercise, or some other silly pseudo intellectual poseur nonsense

Think it through...

Auntie, Auntie,

Are your curlers too tight this morning?

Let's get to the heart of it. My original thesis was that negative physical behaviors have negative psychological manifestations. Most recently I submitted that the physical act of putting people to death (even under state sanction) results in damage to the executioners' mental health.I substantiated it with a reference to a film entitled, "Angels of Death, Executioners in America" in which executioners were interviewed about their experiences, and summarized what I heard them say. I am sorry I don't have any actual video clips to post for you. There's also a book about this movie entitled, "The Last Face You'll Ever See: The Private Life of the American Death Penalty". (Perhaps your facility's library can order it for you.)

Now, after you wipe the dribble from your mouth, would you like to respond to this specific support of my thesis or would you like to bounce around your padded cell a little longer? (S)
