That being said, the death penalty doesn't seem to be a very effective deterrent anyhow.

Then murder is NOT a legal definition made by the State. YES IT IS. Countries are States. I think he's confusing "States" with "states".

"Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in message ink.net... "G.R. Patterson III" wrote in message ... YES IT IS. Countries are States. So murder in the US is a federal crime? It can be. But you're confusing "States" (as in United...) with "states" (a governmental jurisdiction"). Every heard the term "statism"? It's outside the jurisdiction of the States?

That being said, the death penalty doesn't seem to be a very effective deterrent anyhow. Really? Getting shot by potential victims is a deterrent (according to prison interviews), but then the DP is so inconsistently invoked... Two factors in any punishment are "consistency" and "certainty". Both those are missing for the DP.

Let me correct an obvious misperception you seem to have: people get killed
in prison, also! Life without parole is not an absolute deterrent; the death penalty is... "Peter Gottlieb" wrote in message . net... "Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in message ink.net...

"Bill Denton" wrote in message ... Let me correct an obvious misperception you seem to have: people get killed in prison, also! Life without parole is not an absolute deterrent; the death penalty is... Why do you believe that I think people don't get killed in prison? It's not that I'm against the death penalty, it's just that I am frustrated that it doesn't seem to work all that well as a deterrent. I say, step out of line whatsoever, and get the death penalty. Everything. Speeding, flying over gross, unsubstianted tax deductions, EVERYTHING. And no friggin appeals either. Screw these prisons wasting my tax dollars. Can't or won't live with our laws? Death. Don't like the religion of the president, elected by THE PEOPLE? Death. This should also help with this terrible traffic situation we have around here.
