I don't particularly care about pumping a bunch of tax dollars into maybe possibly rehabilitating a bunch of maniac murderers.  Then again, the whole process of the death penalty takes a lot of time and money and effort too. Keeping the criminal in jail for the rest of his life often seems like the best solution. I'm not sure. It's more ambiguous for different crimes, but really...I should have to contribute tax money to keep a murderer alive for his entire life? That's what's happening? Sure there's a lot of ways to reduce taxes anyway, but the possibility of that ridiculous to me. In cases where there is overwhelming evidence that there was first-degree murder or a higher crime, the criminal, after appeal let's say, should probably be put to death in a very short time. Maybe a couple weeks, a month, whatever. But it's nonsense to have a society pay to keep a murderer alive, let alone for life.   I'm sure the costs of keeping the relatively limited amount of convicted murderers alive are not enormous compared the amount of money the American government invests on slaughtering innocent people. You're probably right. You should tell them to stop all that.

"Nobody cares." 

Vomps can you try to explain in one way how a carrot can represnt Ethics and that a wood with a nail on one side can represent Morals   if you are kind????

"stonie don't bring that relativist sh*t in here and vompatti stop being such a goddamn communist I'm going to bed peace out, hippie fags"  -Henry Plainview

I rather like that quote.  You could follow it up with a good, hearty "nobody cares" too.

I don't know if I could handle visiting there, agi.  I'd be vomiting every ten minutes.
