Isn't Capital Punishment the worst kind of premeditated murder?

In recent years "we" have discovered that at least some of those we have
condemned to die were innocent of the crimes for which they were
sentenced to capital punishment. We have no doubt executed some in this
country who were innocent, but once the convicted are dead no one expends
energy exonerating them.

I'm against capital punishment...but there's little doubt about Saddam's
culpability for the crimes that he was accused of.

No, I'd say it's the end of the worst kind of premeditated murder.

It's like a teaching a kid not to hit others...by hitting the kid. It's
hypocritical.

It's the Third Sign of the Apocalypse!!!

It's been a long time coming, but I believe that this could really be the
year for the Apocalypse. I don't know about you, but I'm being especially
nice to everyone from now on. Even Democrats.

You're not one of those End of Days lunatics, are you?

I became one on November 7th. I believe that the way the electorate voted
is a sure sign of the Apocalypse.

There's no other way to explain it.

Awwwww.

There's an easier answer. The voters who actually thought about the
election and its implications were tired of the Republican b.s., and
wanted some new b.s.

I was personally and professionally delighted by the outcomes of some of
the races, though. Senator Macaca's loss not only got rid of a senatorial
idiot, it eliminated him from being the "conservative" GOP contender for
POTUS in 2008. In my own state, our black lieutenant governor bet on what
he perceived as the stupidity of black voters and tried to convince them
he really wasn't *that* sort of Republican and in fact wasn't really a
Republican at all. He was so successful that about 85% of the state's
black voters cast their ballots for the other guy.


That should not have surprised you as they normally blindly vote for the
Democrats only.

Oh, *I* wasn't surprised that Maryland's black voters saw through Steele
and correctly determined what he was, even though he did his damnedest to
disassociate himself from Dubya. Hey, I was delighted to note that in your
state, the Democrats did pretty well, too.


The Dems have 2 years to show us their stuff. Time will tell.

Happy New Year to you and your family Harry.

I am proud of the fact that Collier County is so staunchly Republican that
it was one of only two counties in Florida to support Katherine Harris over
Bill Nelson.

I am also proud that Floridians were willing to extend Jeb's legacy down
here by electing Charlie Crist as Governor.


I definitely chose the right county (and state) to live in.

I know you're no fan of the Bush's, but Jeb is well-liked, and ran this
state very well. I doubt he'll run in the 2008 election, which means the
earliest he'll enter back into politics is 2012...when he'll run for either
Senator or President...and win.

Jeb might win a senatorial race. He hasn't a chance of winning a race for
POTUS. After Dubya leaves, the Bush name will be worthless in national
politics.



It's interesting that Gerald Ford, who was perceived as a bit of a simpleton
with questionable capabilities when POTUS, is now being reevaluated much
more positively in terms of his foresight, vision, leadership and plain old
guts. As more details of his presidency become public, the more respect I
have for him.

Time will tell with Bush.

One philosophical problem I have with capital punishment is
that society and the state do not grant life and therefor
should not be able to take it. They do grant freedom
however and can deny it for non-compliance.
