    The government should never be allowed to put its own citizens to death. The government is not infallible. The government has put innocent people to death.

      The same government can’t even be trusted to reliably fix a pothole.

            Feel free to go live off the grid and no longer enjoy all the everyday qualities of life that are a result of government that you take for granted.

            If your spouse or child were imperfect would you also toss them in the trash?

                Just don’t live near Robert Bedella or Jeffery Dharma! Simple!

                Or Jimmy Savile…

                …or Jack the Ripper. Or any number of people who are lifetime murderers, rapists, torturers, criminals.

                Simple!

                  Yeah because we’ve only two forms of punishment: slap on the wrists or execution. There’s nothing in between.

          Nah, boomers love the death penalty. Which seems paradoxical, considering how they hate government.

            Because conservatives view government as a cudgel rather than a social net

          Subjecting human beings to inhumane torture by consistently failing to kill them is so far below anybody’s standards for a death sentence that the mere action itself should be illegal.
