This weeks 'TRUE' Story    

"This is no joke," declared Mayor Keith Holliday after a city council meeting in Greensboro, North Carolina had ended in chaos. "I was just trying to think outside the box. And if cryogenic freezing was good enough for Walt Disney, then it's certainly good enough for some bunch of murderers on Death Row."
Mayor Holliday had proposed his radical solution during a council debate about the problems of overcrowding in the city's penitentiary. "At present, Death Row inmates can appeal against execution for year after year, claiming wrongful conviction and judicial irregularities. That delay causes overcrowding, and costs us millions in legal fees and prison fees, before we can finally execute them. So instead of wasting all that money, why don't we put them all on ice? We could cryogenically freeze them, then reverse the process if later evidence clears them of their crimes. If it doesn't, then they just stay frozen. I watched a television talk show about it last night, and we have the technology. All we need now is Jesus the Lord, fine corn liquor, and the courage to think the unthinkable."
