you say you don't want it to be a debate about the death penalty, but you posted :
'That's ok, 150k a year to house these 3 for the rest of their lives b/c they won't get the death penalty. '
yeah, makes sense....
yeah, it's irrational to make sure people aren't guilty before we kill them. i mean, we never, ever see people getting sent away that turn out to be innocent.
yes, it's senseless. yes, the visceral reaction is to do to them what they did...but then, that would put us on their level, wouldn't it?
