51. We hide executions because it's morbid.

You're always going to have sick freaks who would enjoy watching an execution, but we're better than that. That's what they do in Saudi Arabia, not exactly a model of anything remotely democratic.

As for the draft point, let me further clarify this so it can't possibly be misconstrued -- the government is not actively drafting people who are not currently, and have never been, in the military. I'm well-aware of the stop-loss program, but that's not what I was referring to.
