SABAI,

I respect your opinion...but hear me out...

We as a human species are bright enough to employ breeding practices and such with our animals...let's pick dogs for this example...cuz I a few Rotts that are like my children...

So, now if one of my dogs goes out and kills someone what do I do? I've had a talk with my dogs and told them that if they do that shit, daddy will spend the 15cents on a bullet and dump them in the ocean.

We don't tolerate "violent insanity" in killer dogs, why do we do that with people? hmmmm

See, there is something in the psych world called "nature versus nurture"....meaning that "Is it that someone's environment caused them to be a psycho killer or is it in their genes?"

As most level headed psychologists and psychiatrists will tell you...It's a little of both...

So, what do we do? Put someone in prison for life where they can learn to love the gangrapings, new drug habbits, and a myriad of other criminal activities? Or do we do the human thing and BREED them out of our species/genes? hmmmm

Do I think that some killers can be truely reformed? I definitely do! Do I think ALL killers can be reformed? Definitely Not!

I'm strongly against mandatory sentencing which involves the death penalty and a variety of other mandatory sentencing issues. And I'm also strongly in support of a top to bottom evualtion and restructuring of our criminal justice system AND our "rehabilitation" facilities & practices...Our system is clearly close to bankruptcy in equality, effectivess, etc etc etc

Flat out not supporting the death penalty or flat out supporting a "no" death penalty I couldn't see as being reasonable no matter how you slice it.

Extremism on either end is just that "extreme" which imho doesn't jive with a level-headed, mature, thoughtful, educated view on things.

that's my 5 cents for the evening...

too much caffeine makes me ramble on...I'll stick to herbal teas tommorow for everyone's sake
