[Vision2020] Duncan plea deal

[heirdoug at netscape.net]

Gary,

Do you think that using a vaccine to introduce a little sickness into 
the body in order to keep the whole body free from the sickness is a 
good thing? Could you equate putting to death a 'sickness' like Duncan 
in order to be a deterrent to other 'sicknesses' from infecting the 
whole community. Even Keely could become an advocate for the death 
penalty if that was possible.

Doug!

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

If this is truly the case, why do you suppose so many vermin such as 
Duncan
prefer/fight for the life sentence? For the most part this, is true of 
all
convicted killers. What do you base your contention on? I can't imagine 
that
it's even how you, personally, would feel should you ever be in a 
similar
circumstance. (not that you would, of course) This "long life in prison 
is
worse than death." mantra seems to be bandied about as a truism with
precious little supporting evidence. In fact, most evidence points the 
other
way.
