Everything You Always Wanted to Know but Were Too Smart to Ask
Why is cruel and unusual punishment against the law?Who are we kidding? All punishment is cruel. If they locked you up in a nice hotel suite with room service, cable TV, and a swimming pool, that wouldn't be punishment. It would be the Holiday Inn. And, we've been punishing people for so long, it's pretty hard to find an unusual way to do it. "First, we're going to put this bag of gumdrops on your foot, the 500-pound bag. Also you have to watch Oprah reruns for the next ten to twenty years." Now that would be unusual punishment.
