In fact, he has merely presented a logical inconsistency: I believe in the right to life, therefore I believe in killing as punishment. Get serious. Also, I am curious about the phrase "victims of violent crimes". Just which violent crimes does he think should be punished by death?! I find this character very scary. -- Tom Twiss @ St. Olaf College {decvax,ihnp4}!stolaf!twiss "If the Paradox and the Reason come together in a mutual understanding of their unlikeliness their encounter will be happy..." -Soren Kierkegaard
