I feel the need to throw in my two pen'urth - Says more about me that the subject as well I guess. Whether that's good or bad I don't realy know:-(

I am anti-death penalty. Not out of any leftish or liberal ideals - Simply because I don't understand the gain. OK, they won't do it again - Lock them up and throw away the key and they won't do it again either. It can never be a deterant - People don't commit crimes expecting to be caught and punished so how can the sentence deter them? Finaly - Revenge. Yes, I agree with that one and cannot honestly say if anything happened to my loved ones I would not want some served good and cold! I hope I never have to find out but I like to think I could rise above it.

A favourite writer of mine once said there are a lot of people who deserve to die and are still alive. There are also a lot of people who deserved to live that are now dead. Who amongst us should decide who should live and who should die?

I Agree with Mick as well btw.

Cheers
