Subject: Re: Federal death penalty
It is fun to speculate Mike, I enjoy Sci Fi romps about future off beat societies. Riddick. We'll Vin Diesel it. But, alas the Constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. " Set in your cell the rest of the time, no books, no hobby supplies, no information from the outside world, go crazy if you must, you are gone from our society," sounds a a bit on the cruel side. - Lambo

No where near as cruel as lighting a stranger on fire while they were sleeping.

So with you, we learn there is more to it than just eliminating the death penalty. Are we back to having them hang around painting pictures and enjoying another 40 years of life on the taxpayers dime. Maybe a nice pickle ball court and movie night every Friday.

How do you think a heinous murderer should serve "Life without parole". Since the alternative we are talking about was death, just how nice should the perpetrators wretched life be?
