I'm a death penalty advocate, but in this case I think they made the right call. Don't give him his martyrdom. If he wants it that bad, let him hang himself in his cell.
I don't spend that much time in the car. Was probably the only person around Washington, DC that didn't have a long bad commute. 10 minutes to work. And since over the years I've learned to hate driving, if I go much further, I fly.
Sorry for sounding harsh.
When that thing came up, I know about 20 people to run out and get it simply because it was "new". I'd be willing to bet 15 of them never listened to it more than one or two times.
Plus, all that grumpy old me needs is C-Span and a mellow jazz station.
