hey

I'm probably going to get alot of shit for saying this, but its my opinion, which is just as valid as everyone elses so i'll say it anyway..

Dr Gonzo, i disagree with you... i agree, Saddam Hussein is a scumbag, the lowest of the low.. that kind of person cannot be described with mere words.. BUT, im totally, %100 against the Death Penalty for any reason. I dont believe anyone, and i mean ANYONE, has the right to take another persons life, unless their life is DIRECTLY in danger from that person, say in self defence or if that person is putting you or anyone else in direct mortal danger. I would kill someone if i had to, if it was me or them, but thats it. You'll never hear me say i wish somebody was killed or executed. I mean, who decides who should be executed? If we decide, then we decide based on our own code of ethic, our own morals, but whos to say we're right? Dont get me wrong, im not defending Saddam at all, i just dont think anyone should ever be executed. One of the arguements for the death penalty goes like this: If in America, the death penalty was abolished, then all the people on Death Row would have to spend the rest of their lives in jail.. keeping someone in jail costs money, it costs the government money, which in turn costs the tax payer, me and you, money. i personally dont believe money ios a factor when talking about a persons life, so that arguement isnt valid.. anyway, im getting off the subject... all i wanted to say, was yes i hate saddam hussein as much as the next guy, but i dont think he, or anyone else, should be executed..

peace
