Not so fast! That Charles Manson escaped it and death row inmates generally die of old age shows that there's still work to be done on it.

Personally I do not want the information released so any random idiot can make his own and inject people at will, but that is just me.

Were the murdered people killed in a way that is constitutional? I say we make people that murder and maim feel the same or more pain than they caused. Would not hurt my feelings at all if someone built a machine that would rip the arms and legs off a person and then rip off the head. That would be justice.

Delightful thoughts. Very human. Commendable.

Now then, the essential point of this whole death penalty argument, at this stage, isn't whether we should kill nasty people or not - it's whether we have the ability to determine guilt unmistakably. And until we do - and our current system of laws and justice doesn't - we have no business "ripping the arms and legs off a person and then ripping off the head."

There is NO way ordinary, knuckle headed citizens, such as most you read on this very forum (*cough cough* ^^^ ahem), should be evaluating and analyzing and judging evidence in cases of petty theft, let alone for capital murder. Nor should cops, lawyers, and judges with career and political and financial gain at stake be allowed to build and prosecute the cases.
