Re: My changed mind
capital punishment is an act of revenge
​
wrong bottom line.
​
capital punishment is an act of frugality. the real reason it's around is because it's cheaper.

Re: Give the convicted the choice?
Why not offer the choice of how soon?
​
because the whole idea of prison is that you don't have freedom of choice.

Re: My changed mind
A couple years back, I was involved with a project for an ethics class about history of capital punishment and the current situation. I do not have the sources with me right now, but you can take my word for it that it costs about 2 million dollars more per person to go with the execution than life imprisonment.
​
i think i remember hearing that, so i guess i stand corrected.
