>>"I am asking seriously. At what point does the risk of executing the innocent outweigh for you the attraction of execution for capital crimes?"<<

Let me get something straight. I am AGAINST capital punishment.
Now, before everyone starts laughing and throwing up their lunch, let me explain. I am AGAINST capital punishment because it is too MERCIFUL. The murderer feels nothing after he is executed.

I prefer the following form of punishment for convicted murderers.

1. All first degree murderers will be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

2. They will be placed in solitary confinement and will never be allowed to leave their cell, even for medical attention, until the day they die.

3. None of these murderers will be allowed to have books, newspapers, radios, TVs, nothing whatsoever except the clothes on their back. The cell will be furnished with a cot, toilet and sink. Nothing else will be allowed in the cell.

4. They will receive their food and water thru a small trap door at the bottom of a solid cell door.

5. The guard will be forbidden to speak to the prisoner.

6. After five years, as an act of mercy, the guard will be told to place a straight razor on the prisoner's food tray.

7. The murderer may do whatever he wishes with the razor....shave or kill himself......his choice.
