I got no problem with the death penalty. However, I disagree with some of the pro-DP arguments. No way will you convince me that the death penalty is a deterrant, for instance. The argument i do tend to agree with though, if I may get biblical for a second, is "an eye for an eye". (theological note: thumpers may point out that JC rewrote an "eye for an eye", saying instead "turn the other cheek".) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Now there’s a better way to fax. eFax makes it possible to use your existing email account to send and receive faxes.
