<<I ...am biased in favor of the death penalty. >>

I'm curious to know how intelligent, decent liberals, or left wingers in general, articulate their attitude toward the "lottery" aspects of its application, in which better odds by enormous multiples are given certain classes of people than to others?

Would you advocate a moratorium until the penalty can be applied impartially? -- That is, to rich as well as poor, females as well as males, killers of blacks as well as of whites, the educated as well as the unlettered?

Or in your opinion does the importance of the benefits our society derives from executions outweigh the importance of the systemic unfairness in the process of choosing who dies?

Which benefits do you most value?
