Some states are considering outlawing the death penalty for economic reasons. Facts aren't your enemy you know. You seem to be very resistant to them. |
Well, you could save money by communting a life sentece into execution. Afterall, liberals always tell you that life in prison is a worse punishment.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
