Z, I can understand if our society no longer has the stomach to carry out capital punishment. Gone are the days where convicted criminals are taken out to the gallows and hung in public to make an example. These days, even a lethal injection is considered inhumane because some judge thinks the recipient might feel it.

But it's getting to be a little too much when even a life sentence is considered inhumane. I guess some guy who stabbed his wife 26 times with a paring knife deserves mercy because he's too old to cause any more trouble. Is that it? Heck, he even said "sorry." OK, I guess that makes up for it all. Funny how "sorry" doesn't even work with my wife if I forget to call her at a certain time.

By the way, I can already anticipate what the response is going to be. "We should focus on reforming our inmates over just locking them up."
