Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent
To blow up the King and Parli'ment.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England's overthrow;
By God's providence he was catch'd
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!
And what should we do with him?
Burn him!

the Guillotine

Before lethal injection, the firing squad, and all the other forms of Capital Punishment, there was the Guillotine. I bring this up since my home state of Utah is once again at the front of the captial punishment debate.

Ronnie Lee Gardner is scheduled to be put to death in June 2010 by our state's fair citizens. His choice was to die by firing squad.

Utah has had it's share of "infamous" executions in the past, and so when news of this came to this reader, I was not surprised.

But are you?
