>I guess you favor the death penalty, huh? ;-) You didn't address the question I asked Kevin but your position comes through loud and clear. Which is fine. This is one of those hot button issues on which people disagree and seldom change their minds.

>For whatever it's worth, on your specific point about supporting condemned killers, it costs more to put one to death than to incarcerate them for the rest of their life. The legal costs of a death penalty case are that high.

The legal costs to keep them alive are high while they play the legal system like an accordian. The costs to keep them in prison are incredibly high. The risks to other people are very high.

I'll use my axe REAL cheap.
