I didn't answer the poll, because it's not a simple yes/no question.

I do support the death penalty in principle; I realize it's all about personal retribution, and I don't have a problem at all with that. There's the old argument that the death penalty doesn't deter anyone from committing crimes, but there's also the old answer that it certainly deters the guy who fried.

I also support Dennis Miller's rant that some people are just plain out fucked up and deserve to die. There's no amount of rehab that will ever work for these people, and they need to be removed from the gene pool. I think Miller's exact quote is, "If you want to molest or harm children, then you need to lean in and take one for the team."

However, I do not support the death penalty as it is set up in the U.S. Simply put, it's too damn expensive. The cost associated with endless appeals and extended stays on death row is currently not worth it.

I would be in favor of a moratorium, but only until the system can get streamlined. If we can make it cheaper and quicker, then I would answer "yes" to your poll.
