I sure don’t. Insurers should pay doctors more promptly and I think the definition of mentally retarded has been expanded.

>>Insurers should pay doctors more promptly <<

That is what contracts and, if necessary, lawsuits are for. There are already laws that can be applied. We need no more laws for that.

Regarding the death penalty and the retarded, it is like basing all abortion laws on pregnancies due to rape. Suddenly they would all be the result of rape.

If you get my drift.

The bar is already so high before someone is executed for a crime that, frankly, I don’t care if they were stark raving mad when they did the crime. The “death penalty” crimes should carry the death penalty regardless of the mental state of the convicted perp.

Heck, in my book, anybody that commits first degree murder is both retarded and crazy, among other things.

—I think the definition of mentally retarded has been expanded.—

By the way, to be clear, I believe that if the guy in “of mice and men” had actually intended to kill the woman under the definition of “first degree murder”, he should be executed.

But then, if I ever had any serious charges brought against me, whether I was guilty or innocent, it would be the last day (or month, and I apologize in advance to those who paid my bail) I ever saw the US.

Just go to youtube and search never talk to the police.
