yes, id certainly agree. but its funny how youre willing to demonise all the bad people (and perhaps rightly so) yet the innocents you discard carelessly as 'blips'. you cant have an imperfect system enforcing punishments that cannot be retracted.
It's even funnier to me how Liberals want to live in a perfect world. It's not possible. Give up on the idea. And besides, these days, with DNA testing of evidence, I think it can even be argued that there are likely zero, or near zero death row inmates who don't deserve to be there.

they always find something to moan about, though.
oh yeah, coz ive never seen any whining from either of you two or your right-wing brothers in arms
i dont wanna live in a perfect world donny. what i do wanna do is prevent innocents convicted of crimes being executed. sorry if that makes me a hippy or something.

^^^No one ever talks about how many convictions were likely up-held as a result of DNA testing, but if it's anything like the number of newer cases that win convictions based solely or even partially on DNA evidence, then I'd have to say the DNA argument has by default, narrowed the playing field of the un-justly accused substantially...how could it be any other way?
And if I was a smoker Raisin, I'd share with you......as long as you didn't try to claim I wrongly accused you of Bogarting if you were in fact, Bogarting.

yeah since we're the ones who grumble on about everything the people in power do. who says we're right wing? or is that a synonum for a person who isn't filled with angst and a dinky brain?
hahaha. the left-right divide is a relative yardstick. youre both right-wing compared to me and donny is right-wing when compared to most things id say

^^^Am I? I think I am actually a target-specific extremist, lol...or as I used to say; "An equal opportunity offender...eventually I offend everyone's beliefs"...what I mean by that is;
1.) I believe in the right to bear arms, but I also believe that all drugs should be legalized in this country so as to lower gang violence (not to mention it's your individual right to do to your body as you please).
2.) I am an Athiest, but I believe that abortion is murder...but I also belive it is a very necessary evil (I'm not going to to get in to all these beliefs in this thread BTW, so as not to jack it more than it already is being jacked).
3.) I believe in less governmentand fewer taxes. But I also believe in a strong military...and pre-emptive strikes.
My list of contridictions goes on, but I think you'd find it hard to classify me as extreme in one direction or the other, truthfully.

as far as im concerned, yes, the libertarian position is largely a right-wing position. doesnt make it bad, its just how it is. and generally, you seem to stick in the libertarian sector reasonably consistently (like with your irrational hatred of welfare recipients )
right-left is a bad label these days imo. but, if its one or the other....
