Lethal injection is the practice of injecting a person with a fatal dose of drugs (typically a barbiturate, paralytic, and potassium solution) for the express purpose of causing the immediate death of the subject. The main application for this procedure is capital punishment, but the term may also be applied in a broad sense to euthanasia and suicide. It kills the person by first putting the person to sleep, and then stopping the breathing and heart in that order.
Lethal injection gained popularity in the twentieth century as a form of execution intended to supplant other methods, notably electrocution, hanging, firing squad, gas chamber, and beheading, that were considered to be more painful. It is now the most common form of execution in the United States of America.
The concept of lethal injection as a means of putting someone to death was first proposed on January 17, 1888, by Julius Mount Bleyer, a New York doctor who praised it as being cheaper than hanging. Bleyer's idea, however, was never used. The British Royal Commission on Capital Punishment (1949–53) also considered lethal injection, but eventually rejected it after pressure from the British Medical Association (BMA).
Sean Justin Penn (born August 17, 1960) is an American actor, screenwriter and film director, also known for his left-wing political and social activism (including humanitarian work). He is a two-time Academy Award winner for his roles in Mystic River (2003) and Milk (2008), as well as the recipient of a Golden Globe Award for the former and a Screen Actors Guild Award for the latter.
Penn began his acting career in television with a brief appearance in a 1974 episode of Little House on the Prairie, directed by his father Leo Penn. Following his film debut in 1981's Taps and a diverse range of film roles in the 1980s, Penn emerged as a prominent leading actor with the 1995 drama film Dead Man Walking, for which he earned his first Academy Award nomination and the Best Actor Award at the Berlin Film Festival. Penn received another two Oscar nominations for Sweet and Lowdown (1999) and I Am Sam (2001), before winning his first Academy Award for Best Actor in 2003 for Mystic River and a second one in 2008 for Milk. He has also won a Best Actor Award of the Cannes Film Festival for She's So Lovely (1997), and two Best Actor Awards at the Venice Film Festival for Hurlyburly (1998) and 21 Grams (2003).
Ice cubes are small, roughly cube-shaped pieces of ice, conventionally used to cool beverages. Ice cubes are sometimes preferred over crushed ice because they melt more slowly; they are standard in mixed drinks that call for ice, in which case the drink is said to be "on the rocks."
Ice cubes that are crushed or sheared into irregularly-shaped flakes may add an interesting aesthetic effect to some cocktails. Crushed ice is also used when faster cooling is desired, since the rate of cooling is governed by the number and average radius of the ice particles.
Melting ice cubes sometimes precipitate white flakes, commonly known as "floaties". This is calcium carbonate which is present in many water supplies and is completely harmless.[citation needed]
American physician and humanitarian John Gorrie built a refrigerator in 1844 with the purpose of cooling air. His refrigerator produced ice which he hung from the ceiling in a basin. Gorrie can be considered the creator of ice cubes, but his aim was not to cool drinks: he used the ice to lower the ambient room temperature. During his time, a dominant idea was that bad air quality caused disease. Therefore, in order to help treat sickness, he pushed for the draining of swamps and the cooling of sickrooms.

So you didnt get drafted by the NBA, but you got drafted to defend your U.S.A
Now you got war on your mind, put you on front line and you will die, die, the American way
[Verse 1 - Gudda Gudda]
So I woke up at the crack of dawn, a lot going through my mind while I stretch and yawn
Its a love-hate thing, but my heart is torn, man, let me just speak about whats going on
Hey, Dear Mr. President, why you got our troops in the war and they fighting over shit thats irrelevant
While the crime rates spread like an infection, Im trying to duck jail and a lethal injection
[Chorus - Lil Wayne]
Love, hate, size, race, grime, grace, lip injection, lethal injection
Breast reduction, police corruption, your assumption, economical destruction
Breast reduction, police corruption, your assumption, economical destruction
Love, hate, size, race, grime, grace, crime rate, lip injection, lethal injection
Lip injection, lethal injection, breast reduction, police corruption
Your assumption, economical destruction, breast reduction
Police corruption, your assumption, economical destruction

Lip injection, lethal injection, breast reduction, police corruption, your assumption
[Instrumental]
Justice must be blind
Closed eyes to the massacre
Death and sorrow everyday
Judge hammer is in your face
They will take your life
A Life with pain, a death with pain
Waiting the hour
The end is so near
Waking in horror
There's no Salvation from
Terror and fear
Constantly Madness
No self protection
Lethal injection
Why?
Do I have to pay?
For those who live to betray
Trapped in the Death Row chains
"Lethal Injection
In your brain!"
A sentence of death
On each one of us
Since the day we were born
Nothing is gonna change
Feeling dead when alive
A living hell, a living hell
Convicted by a tainted court!
Trial by money: Corruption
Judged by color: Injustice
You never win in a system build for you to loose,
No chance for your side, unless is their side
No way to be free: Prejudice
Hard to resist: Tyranny
There are no crimes for those who made the law
Walk in the line, but it will lead to suicide
Taken from the park on the night her mother cried
Masked by the shadows of darkness that belied
Grasped from the clutches of those who did no wrong
Taken by force violence setting the course - she was gone
Blood's on his hands and the public demands
The sentence of death he must face
Clearly a reason to deny it is treason
To spare his life's a disgrace
To the gallows
To the chair
Lethal injection
I simply don't care
Found in a pool of blood a young boy stares
Torn from a world of reason he finds despair
Filled with a void his father cannot drain
Life's so unkind now he's locked in his mind with his pain
His innocence lost to reality's cost
To fight it is pure genocide
With poison and rope now his death is our hope
The solution is nothing to hide
To the gallows
To the chair
Lethal injection
I simply don't care
Filled with a void his father cannot drain
Locked away from the world he feels no pain
Blood's on your hands and the public demands
The sentence of death he must face
Clearly a reason to deny it is treason
To spare his life's a disgrace
To the gallows
To the chair
Lethal injection
With force apprehended
Soon to be locked up in a cell
Life in jail up ahead
Don't want to face this living hell
Soon to face my trial
But I know what my sentence will be
"Never seen one so vile
Lock him up, throw away the key"
Lethal injection, strapped in the seat
Lethal injection, is this my defeat?
Lethal injection, damage that can't mend
Lethal injection, is this the end?
Thrown in a square cage
This time I'm fucking done
Howling with rage
I've lost, they have won
My fears proved false
They chose to end my strife
In the court halls
Sentenced no to life...
But death
Lethal injection, strapped in the seat
Lethal injection, is this my defeat?
Lethal injection, damage that can't mend
Lethal injection, is this the end?
Solo: Bob
Solo: Jonestöwn
My final hour is here
I'm leaving death row behind
What is there to fear?
Why am I called a threat to mankind?
The needle is now filled
But I can't stop asking why
Is this how I'll be killed?
Is this how I will die?
Feeling the needle piercing my skin
I realize this fight I can't win
Lethal injection, strapped in the seat
Lethal injection, is this my defeat?
Lethal injection, damage that can't mend
