I never said I "want" to fry criminals. I have said many times vengence or economy or whatever are very bad arguements for the death penalty. I have simple said that we have no reasonable way to deal with them and you are right it is partly a religious centered view point. You are welcome to keep trying to find solutions. None have worked so far and I don't believe it is a matter of evolving to one that finally works. We were given one and except for the trama (which is more humbling than empowering) of the execution it does the trick. I read this post at least a dozen times, and the only interpretation I can find is that you are advocating the execution of criminals, generically. Maybe that's not what you meant, but it's what you said. Is there anything that qualifies "criminals"? Is there anything that qualifies "no reasonable way to deal with them"? Is there anything that qualifies "I don't believe it is a matter of evolving to one that finally works."? Is there anything that qualifies "We were given one and except for the trama (which is more humbling than empowering) of the execution it does the trick."? Is there any way to read this post other than "We have no reasonable way to deal with criminals, there is no chance of an acceptable solution evolving, execution does the trick, so we should execute them"? I'm sorry if that's not what you meant to say, but it is what you said. I'm not a telepath, I can only read what you wrote. Just as a matter of curiosity, when you say "we were given one", who or what do you think gave it to us?
