And I am the guy who think murder should be legalized (within reason).

Can you explain what you mean by that?

Hmm, this might be something I probably should have gotten into. Not sure how much I should say here... I am not for legalized murder, so much as legalized killing. And I guess I really don't think it should be legalized, but I like the idea in theory. I don't mean just knocking off anyone you want, but more something along the lines of some guy's young daughter getting kidnapped, raped, and murdered, he finds the guy who did it, and kills him. What happens here? The poor guy who lost his daughter goes to prison for murder. Sure, he murdered the guy, but he never would have had the guy not brutalized and killed his daughter. I would be all for this guy getting off scott free. Primitive, uncivilized, maybe so. My feelings are that as we have evolved as a civilization, justice is something that has become obsolete and all but forgotten. And that saddens me, as I am a pretty big fan of justice.

Of course this matter is pretty complex, and to fully explain the system I'd advocate, I'd have to write you a 900 page book. There are a lot of ins and outs of it that have to be carefully considered, even in merely suggesting the idea. I am sure this idea is pretty unpopular, and is likely to even kick up some dirt in this thread. So many people are completely against the death penalty even in the ridiculously watered down form of it we currently have in parts of the U.S.
