<DIV>Your rebuttal to the evidence of recent research is to look over data
written in 2004? I think it interesting that an article written in 2004 can be
a successful refuting of research done in 2007. If you have an actual link to
the data refuting the study, please provide a link. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I would also like to point out that while there is 176 years of past
study about the death penalty not being a deterrent, there is about 1000 years
of past study that the world is flat. So if time is the key, not accuracy of
data and method, be careful you don't fall off the edge on your next cruise.
