After she was executed, he crudley pursed his lips and said to a reporter "Please don't kill me!"

Are you familiar with the MacDonald case?

No No - I was laughing at myself (as I often do ) for not knowing the facts before replying. I would like to see a video of it so I can determine his facial gestures myself, but could not find one that worked. But it sounds horrible.

How about all of the people who have been executed and were later found to be innocent via DNA or other circumstamces? There are a lot of them.

What about the Timothy McVeighs of the world? Not one shred of remorse from him, ever. -- a complete waste of a human being. I can go on and on -- John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy -- I just can't muster any sympathy for them.

Ex-governor George Ryan of IL reduced EVERY inmante on death row's sentence to life, and in some cases, they were released. And for this the crook gets nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. What a crock of *****. As Blagojevich says, you review them by a case-by-case basis.

This is just one of my hot-buttons, so I apologize for the fiery response.

That is usually where I filp flop. I think Tm should have been executed after the trial. Nothing will change my mind about that. Same for OBL. But, then I think if we kill them we are no better than them. As opinionated as I am on everything else, I truly struggle with this one.

They don't deserve sympathy, but that isn't the issue.

We condemn them and call them monsters (which they are) for murder, yet we turn around and do the same thing. They should rot in jail for the rest of their lives, not be murdered. It serves no purpose.

The thing is, is it ever okay to take another human beings life?

In some cases, I believe yes, it is. I cannot justify letting pigs like McVeigh and Bundy live when they took so many lives themselves.

It is a sticky issue, for sure. Out of curiousity, where do the Democratic candidates stand on the issue? It seemed as though that many Dems used to be anti capital punishment, but the lines have been blurred recently and I can't assume either way.
