"It is, as has been pointed out here several times, much more expensive than a life sentence; it lowers society to the level of the killers; and it deprives us of the chance to have them possibly live to regret their actions and show remorse."

                1) as has been pointed out, endless appeals for 10 to 15 years cost money... execution should be a few thos.,            
                     not the 33 thos per year it costs to house, feed, and provide medical care for each federal prisoner

                2) "murder" by an individual and "execution by statute" are not the same and everyone knows that                  
                  
                3) who cares what the murderer thinks...regret their actions? feel remorse??? again, who cares

My opinion is that Mr. Hill, at the very least, had the huevos to stand behind what he did. No regrets. No remorse.

Mr. Hill's beliefs were so far from those of this society that society had to remove him. Permanently works just fine.
