Death Penalty

I'm for it.

"Thou shall not murder." 'nough said.

I do agree with another alternative that has be put forward by Bill O'Reilly. I am not a big fan of O'Reilly, because he too often takes the populist viewpoint on a matter and seems to be willing to discount the arguments against what he says.

His proposal in lieu of the death penalty is life without parole, served somewhere in Alaska making gravel.

The rules, You beat big rocks into little rocks for the rest of your life. You get credit for making a lot of little rocks, that will pay for your food, heat, cigarettes, etc. A totally worthless existence just making little rocks, but come the day the script gets handed out for how many little rocks you made to pay your keep, I bet there are those who revel in what they were able to accomplish and how valuable life is.

Perhaps then they could appreciate what they did and ask for and receive forgiveness from God.
