Joe,
There is a difference, of course, between criminals and the, as yet, unborn.
Libs always use this illogical argument when debating the death penalty.
You know, the argument that it is alright to kill those, still in the womb,
innocent of any crime what-so-ever, but wrong to kill even the most henious
criminal, even if he/she has admitted to the crimes accused of.

So, until you liberals can answer your own question, ie: "Which is it? Is it
always wrong to kill inocent people or can the death of an innocent person
sometimes be justified by a "greater" social good?"  You shouldn't be posing
it to others.

Dick

The US is one of a handful of civilized countries with the death penalty and
it also has one of the highest violent crime rates.

violent (repeat) offenders through capital punishment, far outweighes the
number  of lives lost to human error." What support do you offer for this
claim? Wouldn't life without parole result in the same "net number of lives
saved" as execution?
