Over on the Woodenboat Builder's forum where I mostly hang out, I'm tagged as a conservative; but I'm opposed to the death penalty until they quit discovering innocent people who've spent decades in prison for crimes DNA proves they didn't commit. It seems highly likely that some have been executed because the adversarial nature of the system, worked against some poor defendant.

When the innocent always get off, and the guilty always get convicted, then I'll become a pro-death penalty person again.

On guns,,,,I'm an NRA certified safety instructor, and long time shooter of flintlock muzzleloaders. I guess that makes me an arch conservative,,,,,,,or is it just a stick in the mud "Old Timer" VBG
