If you belong to the group of people who want to eliminate Capital Punishment (personally, I am in favour of it), I think you have a very good alternative on hand.
While you oppose CP claiming that by killing someone the system is no different from the offender, the system has no other option of educating the people about the pitfalls of committing heinous crimes.
So, to you, I offer a solution. Perhaps you can advertise this during all your protests and you might actually have some takers.
My solution - The offender must be asked to drive a car in T.Nagar, specifically the area of Usman Road, Dhandapani Street and the connecting streets. Of course, the car given to the offender must be like the ones used in driving schools - with control pedals on the passenger side as well, just so that the offender doesn't indulge in any "Carmageddon" activities.
I had quite a tough time in that area this evening. I am 110% sure that I spent at least 2 litres of petrol this evening, while covering a distance of say 2-3 kms. I had to go around the streets and the main road due to lack of parking space. I had to encounter auto rickshaws coming menacingly towards me in a one-way street - and point to be noted, I was travelling in the correct direction. I withstood verbal attacks like "poyiginaay iru", "po po" and "varalaam vaa", not to mention the assortment of glares, stares and apologetic looks and the quintessential showing of palm while crossing the road.
So, it was quite an excruciating evening for me. And if the hole in the ozone has increased today, I am definitely accountable for a small portion of it!
