american shrinks now have a depravity scale, where you can determine how evil someone is, how fucked up is that--a little quiz, a number and that number corresponds to sentencing--no discussions to the why or how or when--no heavy discussions about race or class or gender---cause everyone knows a quiz is an accurate accounting of everything possible (st peter at the golden gates giving out mmpis, nope sorry you answered questions 3, 5, and 7 wrong--say hi to the borgias when you head down south)

the most fucked up thing is (and this makes me sick and laugh at the same time) its being used to give people the death penalty--can you imagine
ok 5 points for rape, and 6 points for murder, but we subtract 2 because it was a crime of passion--thats a total of 9, just missed the needle.

(speaking of the death penalty---do you know that you are frozen but still feel pain when you take the drugs mentioned in lethal injection--you cannot communicate how you are feeling but you are feeling it--if that isnt a metaphor of the american jursipeance.)
