Hi, again, on a nice fresh tread - thanks Mo!

I agree with you re: Bush's crawfishing on issues. (Do you guys have crawfish? It means backing up, and changing your position.)

To me, the best solution would be to neuter both Yeats and let them live with what they have done to themselves and their children.

I just don't see the point in killing her - the deterrent argument is so bogus - and a living hell type life would be so much more punishing than a quick needle.

Some crimes, like WindshieldWoman, call for the needle, the Yeats case, to me, does not. Jim

Mrs. yates is already in such anguish I believe she will welcome the needle!! It will be no punishment at all. I don't want anyone to get me wrong. I am FOR the death penalty. But there are exceptions and I believe this is one of them. They have accomplished nothing by killing her. Now if they injected him - that would be much more fruitful!!

Thinking about what she did is not JUSTICE. Justice isn't pretty, but it must be carried out - it's our duty. Where there is no justice, no child, no vulnerable human is safe. Justice is protection. It is civilization. Justice dictates that Yates must die for her horrendous crime against humanity.

Andrea Yates CHOSE to live with thoughts of killing her children. It's what she did for months... thinking about it, planning it - then finally executing the crimes. How is it punishment, how is it justice, to say, "Let her live to think about the horrible thing she did?" She's a MURDERER! Thinking about murder is not a hardship for her.
