Not that I'm qualified to judge your posts ~ but I liked that one.

Anyway, Laws must not be based on emotion, but based on rights and they must not be subjective, but objective to be valid

I agree and further suggest that once the Supreme Court rules regarding execution the State should not waste any more time.

Further, as one with some experience "inside", given the option of life imprisonment or execution, I'm confident that my response would be as Patrick Henry said March 23,1775:

"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? . . . . but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

On the contrary...<<Laws must not be based on emotion, but based on rights and they must not be subjective, but objective to be valid.>> Laws must not be based on emotion or rights. Laws must be based on principle. It is principle where in we may define rights and responsibilities. We have a huge problem with people going out and declaring the rights that they are entitled too, which are not solidly supported in the principles of our constitution. We now have a nation practically bankrupt with entitlement.
