I am unscreening this since it's on topic and not a troll or whatever but (a) From now on, please sign your comments, even just with "anonymous", otherwise I don't know that you're (at least claiming to be ) all the same person (b) No being rude to other commenters (c) I uh..I totally can't figure out your point here. That lots of smart people have been in favour of the death penalty for complicated thought-out reasons? Wasn't that part of my point? And no, I can't be bothered reading all those links without knowing what I'm even supposed to be drawing from them :P
