Julian Cope presents Head Heritage

but how is snuffing someone out like a candle any form of retribution? he's not going to be sitting there in the afterlife thinking 'damn I've missed out on being alive', he's not going to be conscious or sorry of anything. Well, that's if you believe in the no afterlife version. And if there is an afterlife, are we hoping it's the Hellfire and Damnation version he's going to, so God can tell him off for eternity? Because it might not be. It might be the Virgins and Raisins version, which wouldn't be what the capital punishment advocates would want at all, surely. I suppose we could blow his legs off with some ballbearings, an eye for an eye and all that. But that doesn't seem very civilised, it's not really how I'd want the rest of society to behave towards one another. tricky stuff.
