"An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, vengance is mine sayeth the lord." Lets call the death penalty what it is, punichment, not a deturant. I also say the lethal injection is too kind. Put her ina bathtub and throw an old toaster in. Cheap, yet effective (j/k) One thing to remember tho is that as a society, we are judged by how we treat those we see as most contemptable.

I agree with you, lifesaver, about how we are judged by others based on how we treat our enemies/criminals/etc. It just seems like crime in the USA is getting worse every day, and our justice system isn't doing much to fix the problem.
Our tax dollars pay for these cold-blooded murderers to remain alive in jail cells -- getting college educations, watching TV, working out on exercise equipment, etc. -- for several years until they are FINALLY put to death with a little needle. Seems like there ought to be a better way to deal with these criminals that will satisfy both the victims' families and the onlookers who judge America by our justice system.
