Maybe if Janet whiped out here tit or Britney flashed her brown eye in a flood zone, the public interest could change?

Whats up with all the missing sex offendors? I just saw a thing on tv last night. Why not just tattoo sex offender on their forehead and mark them for life. nevermind the GPS tracking device.

I don't believe in capital punishment for deterence sake. Although it does gaurentee that the person punished thus, will never be able to kill again.

No. My stance on capitol punishment is that in not condemming the murderer; when said murder is committed with forthought, malice and cruelty; we send a subtle message to the victim's survivors that the scumbag's life is more prescious to us than the victim's life.

I'm not an eye for an eye type. But in the case of the type of henious acts you guys are talking about, the taking of one life really does demand the taking of another.

There is no other way to see justice done.

The laws become even simpler if you have luck to live in one of those countries (majority, I think) where humen dignity, lives and property are not respected at all. Or they are respected selectively.

People fought and died for that right. Thats why we fight a stupid police action in Iraq; draining the treasury and leaving the citizens vulnerable to huge natural disasters while the National Guard is farting around in some oil producing cabal; because the votes were not accurately counted the first time.
So in a nutshell demand your vote is counted; it's the only reason to fight. If all the votes are counted then no one can complain when they get the wrong incompetent guy to lead them or if they suffer from inappropriate laws or legal enforcement.
