I always wonder about the drugs used for executions. Now they want a one drug injection? Hey guys; ever try heroin? We know it's lethal; we know you can die from a single injection; we know it's readily available. Is it perhaps they powers that be are afraid the last second of someone's life might be pleasant before it's extinguished? It just baffles me that they are so quick to kill but won't use what's available and effective.
