let me be clear one last time. there is no anger here. just passion for life, the right to it, and the love of my fellow human being, no matter how flawed.

why all the anger here?
these are our opinions
i believe mine
you, yours
i understand opinions can be changed
but at this point in time
this is where we are at
and to get angry at someone
because they do not believe what you do
tells me that the angered ones
are insecure in their own beliefs
i no longer consider murderers people

The imaginary world where the movie Moinority Report, or our guarantee that a person is 100% guilty IS NOT HERE.
and that's it, isn't it?
Thats all I need man.
I cant imagine how many lives and families have been ruined by an innocent person being put on death row.
I know, please dont say "well, guess how many lives have been ruined by an axe murderer!" Because I am aware of that too, and it is horribly sadening.
What scares me is when i'm an innocent person and an axe murderer takes my head off.
--but--
What scares me even more is when i'm an innocent person and a lawyer, judge, random jury, and my government takes my head off.

Are you willing to consider wrongfully accused murderers people?
I can't reconcile "rights end where reality begins". Is that what you would have had African Americans believe in the 50's?
I'd like to hear your explanation of just how human beings have a choice in their mental illnesses.
I think African Americans of today would understand exactly what I mean. Their “rights” afford them equal treatment in the eyes of our law enforcement and court systems, but that isn’t how reality works. I didn't say that's how it should be. I said that's how it is.
And I have my share of mental illness, that’s why I speak about it. Also, my job puts me in contact with those dealing with it. Some, like myself, are usually able to make healthy decisions even when their instincts are screaming at them to act differently. I know guys in management positions that wake up every night from horrible combat related nightmares, severe PTSD. Somehow they keep it together. Some can’t control themselves at all.

I even think what they did to Saddam was disgusting. Do you think GWB deserves the same for all his crimes against humanity? How about all of the innocent lives he snuffed out for the greater American good?
any of the pro death penalty folks here have any thoughts on this?

This msnbc article was very good all the way around. In fact, It had me wondering about the future of the DP.
