>People will turn a blind eye. Add the arts and they will revel in its novel nuevo counter culture or something. Death Penalty is now legal, but has to be publicly televised/streamed. Everyone convicted has one last chance to escape execution, right before they are hung. Instead of waiting upon the classic 'Call from the Governor', they have one opportunity to deliver a Poem, and the people watching get to vote on whether or not their Poem is good enough to stay the execution. I think that would be a good system, perhaps not for justice, but it would certainly be a good system for generating meaningful Poetry.
