I'm talking about history. Capital punishment has been around for
thousands of years, and it doesn't seem to have accomplished much in
the way of deterrence. As Bruce pointed out, we're one of the few
civilized countries left that still murders its criminals, but our
murder rate remains one of the highest. This should tell us something,
and if it doesn't, I'm afraid we're more committed to vengeance than
any kind of reason.

So, if the issue is in doubt (a point I don't concede, except to ask
this question), then you'd rather err on the side of killing people? I
think your statement here speaks for itself, and is rather revealing.

I notice you didn't answer the question.

What's with the name-calling?
