I wondering now what the prevailing thinking is on the death penalty on this forum. I mean, life is life, right?
Read teh Terri threads... some of them are perfectly willing to execute Schiavo and Greer themselves if given the opportunity.
However, this still does not adress the "LIFE Uber Alles" mentality.
I'm sure there are some who do not support the death penalty, either, but the calls for the deaths of MS, Greer, etc. do not exactly lend weight to that.
Well, I am against the death penalty. I haven't even dared to say it openly around here, but since this is the Smokey Backroom, and since mostly really nice people participate here on this thread, I'll dare to come out of the closet :-)
Cheers.
that is what a liberal might say, but the distinction is INNOCENT life.
Oh, I expect that they'll figure out a way to make an exception. You aren't really expecting logical consistency, are you?
How about innocent is innocent, and guilty, guilty.
