We think like this because we are animals, and animals have revenge in their bodies. It just comes natural to us to think people deserve what they did.

well for animals revenge is immediate and more of a defensive behavior than a "revenge". revenge seems to be a human thing-- best served cold, etc-- of course we are animals too. my objection to this automatic reaction however has to do with the fact that an ideology of punishment seems to be the greatest manufacturer of social and psychological ills. if you are "bad" then you "must be punished". the funny thing is that this social ideology generates inordinate amounts of self-hate in individuals (see for example hayden asche's latest bout of self hate, in which he becomes his own "punisher" for his perceived "faults"-- sorry hayden but i just remembered that). self-haters tend to gravitate towards crime, addiction, and violence-- which is supposedly what punishment is designed to avoid. yet it only creates more situations that require "punishment". so while some fruits of "punishment" seem to satisfy immediately, the seeds of the ideology only create more of the same. are you aware or how many people live in u.s. prisons these days? oh yes they are getting "what they deserve". uh-huh... |

Actually, the "greatest manufacturers of social and psychological ills" are probably breeding/overpopulation and religion.

I have to agree with savage on this one. But !@#$%! prisons are overcrowded because less criminals who did something wrong are not being killed. I think capital punishment is not as bad as people make it seem. I say murder should set you for capital punishment.

anyway, expect riots & further terrorism when saddam hangs
in the meantime, the cost of the iraq war has surpassed 340 BILLION dollars http://nationalpriorities.org/index....per&Itemid=182 i figure this hanging will add up significantly to the tab |

I never understood, why killing someone costs more than keeping them in jail.
