I had a political science professor talk about working in a campaign with a politician who tried to make a compromise with people for or against the death penalty.

The compromise was that inmates given a life sentence would be offered a lethal pill that they could take at any time. I think he said the idea was that they would have it in their cell to use at any time.

That shit sounded fucking wild to me, but I was like 18 at the time and didn't know why I felt that way.

Looking back now, the psychological torture of being imprisoned for life with a pill like that would be immense and immoral as fuck.

Anyway, that's just one from me. What about the rest of you?

    One of my profs said he worked for an NGO to spread democracy in Paraguay. He was also incredibly well travelled and knows 4-5 languages. To this day I think he’s a fed.
