There will always be a battle, ToeKnee, between being right and being 
righteous.

Me?  I'm focusing on the righteousness thing, even when I don't do it well.  
You're free to hold down the "net number of lives saved" argument, though.  
It's definitely the more masculine of the two, and I know that's a big deal 
to you and your pals.

Nick n Keely,

You are right, in rare instances the death penalty is applied to the
innocent.  That is the price we must pay in order to reduce violent  crime.  
No
system is without mistakes so long as it is  administered by human beings.  
The net
number of lives saved by eliminating  violent (repeat) offenders through
capital punishment, far outweighes the number  of lives lost to human error. 
  The
end result is a net saving of lives  through the application of this
appropriate sanction.

Have a logical day,  --Tony
