Death Penalty by BuggedEyes2006-11-19 12:55:59
  The death penalty is indefensible. by mmell2004-12-14 08:00:26
    *sigh* How about practicality? by Voltigeur2004-12-14 08:10:37
      Fifty-three innocents murdered . . . by mmell 2004-12-14 08:14:31
By US (AKA, the state) during the twentieth century alone.

And we will murder again. Just don't look to me to surrender myself to the authorities for this crime.

Strangely enough, if a murderer is killed in prison (see J. Dahmer, WI, USA), I don't have a problem with that. Mr. Dahmer put himself in that situation; he bears the responsibility for his own death.

Question -- can a person choose to forego basic human rights? Must I then reduce my own level of moral culpability to support that person's decision?

            You made yourself clear enough by HadEnuf2004-12-14 11:15:02
              Then I've failed to make my point. by mmell2004-12-14 11:45:37
