The master finds out about this and has him handed over to the torturers until ...[text shortened]... be a good reason for the death penalty if there was not a secure place to put them.

That’s not what I’m saying, but at least they’re still alive. I think it’s great to support a homeless shelter. Your going to pay taxes anyway for one thing or another and like one poster said, it will cost more to give the death penalty.

Again as my most ardent partner in this thread, BLReid, has already said, the cost of the appeal process is not an arguement to dispose of the death penality. So let me see if I further understand the point you are attempting to make: If my taxes are going to "one thing or another", it might as well go towards Scott Peterson's appeals instead of something else I deem more worthwhile? As I wrote in an early post, I would choose having more trashcans available in my favorite park before I would Peterson's appeal. The trashcans, to me, are a much more nobler cause. Peterson deserves to have his appeals, no question, but the problem is with the appeal process and not with the sentence he received.

"It's not your fault they didn't stay in school, or are too lazy to get a job"? And you are calling me "heartless"? Nice way to generalize all people who have fallen on hard times in their lives. Hopefully it will never happen to you.

Ok, I did stereotype there and I’m sorry.

No problem.

So what's the difference between Scott Peterson's soul and Sadam Hussein's?

I would guess both would be a good reason for the death penalty if there was not a secure place to put them.

Coffin seems pretty secure to me, for both of them.
