[Vision2020] Duncan plea deal

[Joe Campbell]

Pat,

Unfortunately, the fact is that you and I will pay more if he is (eventually) put to death. Yet another reason not to have the death penalty.

Reason #3: A long life in prison is far worse than a short death.

If we do discover a complete theory..of everything...we shall all,
philosophers, scientists and just ordinary people,
be able to take part in the discussion of why it is that we and the universe
exist if we find the answer to that,
it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason...for then we would know
the mind of God.

Hello all,

I would agree with anyone that Duncan tests the limits much more than even
more than Malvo in the DC area. What Duncan apparently did lies outside the
human scope of sympathy. But even within this absolutely and disgustingly
twisted psychopathic scenario, I still cannot advocate a penalty of death
for anyone. Duncan included.

Killing, as we all know, brings back no one. The argument of the death
penalty as resolution and closure I find closer to vengeance than justice.

Please don't take me wrong; I don't think rehab etc. is the issue in this
case. I do hope that the rest of his life is spent anonymously and ignobly
incarcerated.
