I just said that they should be locked up for life, rather than executed. I don't understand your problem about my disbelief in the death penalty.

You are the one who brought up supermax in this post.

And you have completely avoided explaining why incarcerating people in that manner is morally superior to executing them.

And that, in a nutshell, is my problem with your disbelief in the death penalty.

You think subjecting people to an extremely cruel form of incarceration is a morally superior choice to execution.
Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this.
