See it's just that little piece of reality that's hard to deal with (and explains why you don't address it and simply suggest you 'can't aruge with me')

To me the biggest difference between the two sides is the connection, or understanding of cause and effect.
no Flames in 07, the reason I can't argue with you is because you're creating outlandish propositions. I'm not an elected official, and I'm not a judge or politician. Why is it my responsibility as Joe Citizen to explain something the population wants/doesn't want. I can only be accountable for my vote.

But, if you go back over and read my posts, I think I've explained over and over why I don't think the death penalty is a good idea. Sure there are instances that seem to beg for it, as I myself noted.

But, for what it's worth, having to explain to the family of those guards - as awful as it would be - would probably be easier than having to explain to the family of an innocent man wrongly killed because the system 'made a mistake'.
