National referendum to bring back the death penalty
Two questions on the card:
1: Do you want the return of the death penalty?
2: Given that the justice system is run by fallible and possibly corrupt humans, and that the eventual execution of an innocent person is therefore not only possible but actually inevitable, do you, personally, volunteer to be the first?

Anyone voting "YES/NO" is ignored, because what they are saying is "I want the return of the death penalty, but only if it only applies to other people". Such people should not have their views taken into consideration for anything.

Anyone voting "YES/YES" gets their vote counted. In the event they're in the majority (or even if they're not...), they're rounded up and executed (for which they have volunteered, remember), and then we run the vote again.

Referenda are generally a bad idea.
Since you can't trust the stupid cunts to vote the correct way.

This is why democracy should be abandoned as a failed experiment.

Democracy is

how about another choice?
Would you rather be executed quickly or thrown in a cage and spend the rest of your life married to the man with the most cigarettes?
I'll admit the death penalty is a strange idea with such a fallible "justice" system but I also have to admit I'd be hard pressed to choose between being killed and being raped for the rest of my extremely uncomfortable life.

I've never understood
why some people think that anyone who murders someone else deserves the death penalty but it doesn't count as murder if its the state that's doing the killing.
Especially in the deeply religious states of America where they have the death penalty. What would stop the bloke who pressed the death button being condemned to hell for being a murderer?

And the fact that "Thou Shalt Not Kill" only applied to other jews.
The old testament god was quite a fan of offing non-believers.
