The Case for the Death Penalty

It's just occurred to me that my posts have been quite left leaning of late. Ergo, it's time to inject some right wing venom into this blog. And what's more right wing than institutionalised revenge?

The case against the death penalty in Australia has been premised on the legacy of dubious executions. Today, with the advent of surveillance equipment and genetic testing these concerns are entirely unfounded. Properly legislated and with sufficient oversight, the death penalty may be an effective means of removing dangerous and non-reformable elements of society. Consider, for example, Martin Bryant. Evidently, there is no prospect of rehabilitation or parole. Furthermore, there has been no expression of remorse. So a question emerges- why is this man allowed to proverbially leach of the taxpayer?

The liberals will suggest that each life has intrinsic value. Ironically, the same people who routinely disparage religion seem to have embraced the Judeo-Christian philosophical view of divine manifestation. Nevertheless, what scope is there for this life to express itself in an isolated cell?

The liberals will suggest that capital punishment is inhumane. Lethal injection, electrocution, or my personal favourite- hanging, are painless and in most cases far more humane than the suffering that those eligible to be executed inflict upon their victims.

The liberals will suggest that capital punishment is empirically shown not to discourage criminal behaviour. This is a fact, albeit a disputable one, and certainly not an argument. The aim of executing criminals is punishment. Discouraging criminal behaviour is a sociological pursuit.

This is a brief post and I have deliberately avoided presenting a legally intensive paradigm. There are a number of workable options for the death penalty. The point that I am making is that the fundamental reason for repealing capital punishment in this country no longer exist. We can now ensure, completely, that those people who have been sentenced to death are in fact guilty of their crimes. All other arguments are incidental.

One more thing- the reason that most legal practitioners abhor capital punishment is the reduced potentiality for employment. Quite frankly, it's hard to suck cash out of dead people. The reader is advised to take the opinion of interested (conflicted) parties with a healthy degree of skepticism. Then again, I have no readers, so this statement is rhetorical. :)

Hi! Quick question that's entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My web site looks weird when browsing from my iphone 4. I'm trying to find a template or plugin that might
be able to resolve this problem. If you have any recommendations,
please share. Appreciate it!

My coder is trying to persuade me to move to .net from
PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress
on a number of websites for about a year and am anxious
about switching to another platform. I have heard great things about blogengine.
net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it?
Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!
