 LL> Hello Roy,

>LL>The death penalty is state-sanctioned murder.

RW>Citizen sanctioned execution.

 LL> State-sanctioned murder.  I never okayed it.
     I got news for you dude.... I never "okayed" Social Security,
  Income Tax, Welfare, Food Stamps, public schools, or a lot of
  other programs, yet for some reason I must learn to live with
  it... At least state laws give you the option to leave the
  state if you don't like it.... Granted, you can leave the
  country, but that still proposes a few problems... 
  
         1> The average joe blow doesn't have the money to move to
            another country, granted, if you put enough time into it,
            it could be safer to leave the country if you moved far
            enough away, such that the radiation didn't reach you when
            we get hit with the really big one....
         2> There are other minor issues in moving away, such as your
            still technically a citizen of the USA, you may have to
            learn a new language, laws, etc. Convert your money.  
            What if you can't make any friends because everyone from
            the new country treats you as an outsider...

 LL> Nobody wants to die.  Except maybe crazy folks.
     I can't say too many "Crazy" folks want to die.  Folks in PAIN want
     to die, but there's a big difference from pain and crazy. 

RW>Take heed: Don't come to Texas and you'll live longer!

 LL> State-sanctioned murder is not limited to Texas.
     Don't come to Louisiana either.  If the drunk drivers don't kill you,
    the druggies will kill you in the cross fire.  If they don't kill you,
    the red-neck morons will kill you.....

>LL>At least that way, if a mistake had been made, the individual can be
>LL>released from prison unharmed. By murdering that individual, even if
>LL>innocent it would not matter since he/she would still be six feet
>LL>under.
    Of course, in that case, we have 2 thoughts on this..... 

    1> It allows much more corruption.... One can continously buy off 
       people till he gets the governor or president to pardon him, then
       release him without serving near his sentence...
    2> It allows him to escape, we have to pay to feed him, clothe him,
       he gets better health care than free individuals.  In many cases,
       he's allowed to have congical visits.  And even supposing he is
       100% not guilty, he won't get back the time he did in jail.  Nothing
       you can do will recover the time he spent in jail, granted it would
       be harder to recover the time he spent dead to his family.

 LL> Texans are idiots, not knowing what they do.
     And what state are you from that promotes intelligent bigots?
