I love being a journalist, but...

Ya know, I love my job. I really do. I mean, how cool is it to tell someone "I'm going to work" and then go sit and watch a football/basketball/whatever game for three hours? It's quite possibly the coolest job in the world besides actually playing the sports, which I'm far too unathletic to ever actually do.

But.. even I have limits. As much as I love journalism.. if it ever takes me here, I quit.

I'm not saying I think the death penalty is always bad. 99.9% of the time, I think it's probably an easier way out for the person that committed the crime.. those prison stories had to come from somewhere. My main problem is that... this dude wrote about an execution. And just like I can't write about a game if I wasn't there... that guy couldn't have written about this execution if he wasn't there.

I'm cool with watching white dudes try to play basketball and then writing about it. But if my job description ever includes watching someone die... I think it'll be time to go back to school and pursue a different career path.
