you'd rather have self-imposed death penalties for theft than have some society that believes that the punishments handed down by the courts should--hell, i dunno--maybe fit the crimes?

theft and burglary, under the common law cases provided by our nation, is not grounds for loss of life. call me crazy, but i don't think thieves should be summarily executed, and somehow--and i know this part is really nuts--the courts seem to feel the same way.


you want summary execution, the People's Republic of China is the place for you.
