So if executing criminals is in fact the behavior of a civilized society, why do we bother with the injection cocktails and the private closed-to-media viewings and all this pussyfooting around the idea of the state ending an adult human's life?

That's just it. The nanny-state types want to protect us and the leeetle cheeldren from the horrid sight of gibbet fruit, and the police state types don't want to answer to the mob when it doesn't agree with whom they want to kill.

Another option for executions would be to force the condemned to breathe the breath of a cat in dire need of dental care. I have a cat next to me RIGHT NOW who is going in for teeth cleaning TOMORROW and I swear his breath would peel the varnish off a canoe paddle. FOO.
