I have to take exception to the title of this thread. Granted, it doesn't get the Rick James "FOUR THUMBS DOWWWNN!" that I reserve for the "I have a problem..." or "Quick question..." thread titles that plague Tilted Sexuality, but still.
You are not advocating reducing the budget at all, nor are the steps easy in the least. You are telling us to kill convicted criminals. Human Beings. There is only one guy that can truly make that judgement, IMHO, and we crucified that poor fucker two millenia ago.
I would suggest that thread titles such as:
Death Penalty: Cost saving measure?
Death Row = waste of Tax Dollars
Killing is cheaper than Housing
and on and on... you can state your point much clearer, and give people a little "Heads Up" on what they are about to read.
The clearer the title, the less the thread-jack as well, since I can jump in at any time and give you TOTALLY DIFFERENT ways to reduce the budget deficit, provide three easy steps (Look at my original reply to this thread. Did I talk about the death penalty at all? Nope. You could change a flat tire with that jack!) and not address the spirit of this thread at all.
I like to think that Titles are important. I also think that the TFP would be a better place if people placed more time and energy into a coherent, short and relevant title.
That is all. Continue talking about killing people.
