It's sometimes said the you can judge how civilised a country is by it's judicial system. (70% have abolished capital punishment.) With that in mind, it's interesting to see how many countries still use the death penalty. I think many of these would score quite low in the 'civilised league.'

Time and time again, it's been shown that it costs less to incarcerate someone for life than it does to sentence them to death. The financial argument for the death penalty just doesn't stand up to scrutiny......
"Much to the surprise of many who, logically, would assume that shortening someone's life should be cheaper than paying for it until natural expiration, it turns out that it is actually cheaper to imprison someone for life than to execute them. In fact, it is almost 10 times cheaper! How can that be?"
Certainly no rope or anything that could help them take the easy way out.. Most are put on suicide watch to ensure their misery remains ongoing for quite some time.
It depends what youve been cooking. If its something like bacon I would always clean it afterwards, but you can put a slice of stale bread under the basket to soak up any fat. Bit i find it so easy to clean i dont bother with that ' handy tip' that I read about. Sometimes i do leave it though if I'm not cook8ng anything fatty.

Yes, and tomorrow you're going to have some of that marmoset porridge I've heard about.
