Bimble has a rather interesting view on the state of texas reaching 400 executions since the death penalty was revived there in 1976. Personally I see it as a way of population control. As to death by injection I, in the words of the hunchbacked jailer in Life of Brian, could think of much crueler ways of doing it. Some of which involve leaches and custard :-)
I thought, in the spirit of Greenbelt, I'd have a much better and more environmentally friendly story:
According to research in Norway an adult moose is actually an eco-terrorist. It is causing our planet to die folks. Yes, that's right - It's The Moose 'wot Dunnit! (tm The Scum).
An adult moose creates the methane equivalent of 2100Kgs of CO2 per year through breaking wind and belching. That is the equivalent of one of us travelling 8000 miles in a car. To put it another way - a return flight from Oslo to Santiago in Chile produces 880Kgs of carbon. Biologist Ridar Anderson (wasn't he a character in M*A*S*H) says: "Shoot a moose and you have saved the equivalent of two long haul flights."
Therefore we have a new way of becoming carbon neutral; we all go to Norway, by tarin or car, and bag ouselves a few moose. That way we can kill a moose and offset our emissions.
I'm off to the travel agents now to book a ferry crossing and getting my rifle out of storage. Will I be able to fit a full size moose onto the bonnet of my MX5?
