There are times when people should lose the privilege of life. It's as simple as that. If you commit certain crimes you lose the right to share my air. You don't deserve food or comfort. You don't deserve hope and where there is life there is always hope.

I understand there will be mistakes. Mistakes like accidents can take lives. You do the best you can to minimalize them and live with those few mistakes you make.
Interesting choice of colloquialism.

Hmmm...somehow this post doesn't surprise me.

I believe that some rights are unassailable. Obviously you do not. Good to know that to you our fundamental rights and freedoms can be taken away given the correct situation. Fortunately, there are enough people on the other side of the ledger in this country that believe that our most fundamental freedoms should be unassailable.
