      <![CDATA[Overall I'm not a fan of the death penalty, but I agree that there are some individuals to whom it should be applied, not as a matter of punishment, but as a matter of public safety. Personality I feel life in prison is a far worse punishment than death because we all must die.

      <![CDATA[randy: does it not concern you that the death penalty is disproportionately inflicted on people who cannot afford the best defense, and who are, more often than not, of color? This, of course, is just one reason so many of our own states have abolished it.<br>
<br>
Also, does it not concern you that we're one of the last developed nations in the world that clings to capital punishment, joining several countries whose records on human rights we justifiably condemn?

      <![CDATA[As I say, narrow the definition and make it Federal, which removes it from the hands of cops and DAs. I have not often agreed with merc, but there is a narrow group of savage criminals that are just too dangerous to live.

      <![CDATA[Jeff: Agreed. I'm convinced that the same mania that drives this country's obsession with guns and religion is what underlies its blood lust for officially-sanctioned murder.

      <![CDATA[I am convinced that as long as there are cops with agendas and prejudices and baggage and gorillas of stress on their backs, and DAs with elections to win, and overburdened, underpaid, overwhelmed (and just plain careless, drunk, and/or stupid) public defenders, and juries filled with ignorant yahoos whose primary goal is always (and I do mean always) to get this trial over with and go home, and local news stations with a half-hour to fill, and cable news with 24 hours to fill, and Nancy Grace, that we as a society should not sentence anyone to death. There are too many innocent people on death row as it is, and the state-sanctioned murder of one innocent is a greater tragedy that a dozen living, gloating Richard Specks.

      <![CDATA[Randy: I can't tell whether that lump in your cheek is your tongue or a wad of chewin' tebakee. <br>
<br>
Judging by the telltale of the statement that you agree with the "wisdom of [your] Texas cousins" (a definitional oxymoron), I'm going to assume it's the former.
