General Discussion

I thought I had been pretty clear about that, several times:

It's to remove someone from society, permanently .... and not incur the expense of keeping them alive for however long they might live.

And if I have to choose a) or b), I'll go with a.

I support the death penalty. In clear cut cases of guilt. (I'll decide what clear cut is on a case to case basis.) Some people should be removed from society and society should not have to pick up the cost burden of keeping them fed, housed, clothed, and alive as long as possible. Some people just need killing.

Appeals go on too long because lawyers want it to and someone else is picking up the tab. If there were a statutory two year limit it would get done in two years. Some would say that's not long enough. Tough.

In my perfect world, I would prefer exile to a penal island somewhere with no chance of escape. But that's not possible. So I'll go to the next best thing and remove the evil ones permanently with the least expense. Don't ask me how much a human life is worth to me, you won't like the answer.

Disagree all you want. Advocate ending the DP all you want. Tell me all the reasons why. I don't care. Call me an inhumane, immoral monster. Call me anything you want. I am not going to change my mind. I'm not even going to try to change yours.

Is that clear enough for you? Or is your insatiable curiosity still wondering?
