to Sam - You may feel like the death penealty is a joke, but what you are saying is that someone should not have access to the appeals process. It's an unfortunate fact that it takes that long for the appeals process to run its course. The courts are jammed up with so many crimes. The worst thing that couls happen would be for someone who is innocent to be executed. If it takes 10 years to ensure this, then so be it. As long as there is a death penalty, they must have access to appeals. You are right though, maybe the fear of death has no effect on people. But your solution is no good either. We can't put people on crackers and water. Here are your choices - death penalty with appeals or a lifetime of inprisonment with hot meals and cable. Which do you choose?

to Veritas - you just lost all credibility with that last comment and you lose your credibility to claim the greatness of BS as well. Nobody can take you seriously now. "If you do something "bad" like stealing then you should die.. why not?" That is one of the most ridiculous things I've heard anyone say. Sounds like you want to live in a third world country or something. It's this juvenile thought process that leads so many people into thinking that what the Brother s McMannus do is the correct thing to do. |
