- How many criminals with life imprisonment have truly been a threat to your
- life? Maybe you have a worry that the nasty serial killer will break out
- and slay you, but what are the chances? The death penalty conveniently
- erases any worries you may have had, no matter how silly those worries were.
- And what sort of punishment is death unless it's slow and painful?
- Seems to me the only people punished by a dead convict are his/her
- family and friends. Is there a talk.capital-punishment?
