Huh? I'm sorry, I don't get the connection between my ascertion that capitol punishment not being a good deterrent and your conclusion that the death penalty works. I figure that if it doesn't work as a deterrant (which statiscitcs show it doesn't), then the only reason for killing these people is vengence. That makes it state sponsored murder, and that makes it inexcusable.
Now that I think about it, we should stick with the news story here. I don't want to threadjack. I kinda touched on the death penalty in
this thread.
