As usual, my never politically correct opinion......

I'm sure everyone here can guess what my stance on the death penalty is. But heres my justification. I wish I knew in dollars how much it costs to sustain one person in a federal or state maximum security prison. Lets use a hypothetical number such as $60 a day. Say the person goes in at age 25, and dies of old age at 75. At 365 days a year, and 50 years, thats 18250 days. At $60 a day, no inflation or facility cost added in, thats $1,095,000. It would cost well over that to provide basic ammenities for that one person for the natural course of his life. So basically, the way I figure it, I wouldnt want any red damn cent of my tax dollars supporting some baby killing, child molesting, terrorist piece of shit just because its justification for what they did. Screw it. Fry em. Use the money for homeless shelters or something. Not that a portion of my tax dollars arent going to a bunch of crack heads out on the streets at the first of the month, but thats a diffrent thread.
