Extractions: Death penalty has ever since agent times been important as punishment for criminals. In that period of time they had a saying: «You are not being punished for stealing sheep, but because of the fact that sheep are not to be stolen». Death penalty was used to prevent criminal actions. Is this barbaric and unethical, or isnt it? Is it morally correct if all members of society accepts it? What effect does capital punishment have on society? I wont be the judge of how «right» or «wrong» death penalty is, morally speaking. Id rather discuss the more practical consequences of it. There are many problems with death penalty. First of all, there is no evidence for it deterring crime, nevertheless this is an argument which is often used to support it. Further this is a punishment which is a bit hard to alter, if new evidence should be brought to attention. You must accept that if you want death penalty to be carried out.

Extractions: Click here to get the Daily Briefing in your inbox 05/10/2001 - Updated 10:18 PM ET McVeigh's execution to renew death penalty debate The death by injection Wednesday of terrorist bomber Timothy McVeigh begins a new chapter in a death penalty debate that has become more complicated by the recent advances in DNA science and the release of a handful of wrongfully convicted death row inmates. McVeigh's execution could even affect relations with America's allies, a number of whom do not have the death penalty and have become increasingly harsh toward this country's use of it. As pointed out in the current issue of the Council on Foreign Relations' journal Foreign Affairs, French Education Minister Jack Lang called President Bush a "serial assassin" for presiding over executions while governor of Texas. Italian cities are adopting American death row inmates and pressing for their clemency. Yet if there ever was a politically correct execution, McVeigh's is it.

Dud Arguments About Capital Punishment dud arguments from my experience on the usenet group alt. activism.deathpenalty ,but duds similar to these may Characterizing capital punishment as barbaric http://www-personal.umich.edu/~spragge/duds.html
Extractions: Dud Arguments A "dud argument", in this connection, does not refer to an argument I disagree with, but to an argument that has no basis in logic or which ignores or disrespects such facts as we have available. I have taken these particular dud arguments from my experience on the usenet group "alt. activism.death-penalty", but duds similar to these may crop up in many discussions of this topic (and many others). I have tried to present a balanced view of the "duds" perpetrated by people with all positions on this issue. Characterizing capital punishment as "barbaric. This assumes a level of civilization we have not yet attained. Singling out capital punishment ignores many equally nasty practises, such as imprisoning people against their will, which society uses to control criminals and attempt to discourage crime. A defence of capital punishment based solely on democratic sanction. Democracy and the rule of law entails the right to vote our wishes into law, but it equally entails the right to convince the majority of our fellow citizens the policy they voted for does not work. Our votes may make a policy legal, but they do not make it just or effective; and a living democracy gives us the right (indeed the responsibility) to make this case with respect to any government policy we consider wrong. Attacking opponents as "elitists".

Extractions: Jon Langford (Photo By Jim Newberry) Country music has always paid special attention to murder ballads and songs of public executioner and vigilante justice. Pick up an old Johnny Cash record and youre bound to find at least a couple of songs on the subject. Alt.country hero Jon Langford is carrying on the tradition of singing about the unsavory realm of violence and vengeance and this time hes doing it with a twist. The Chicago-based, Welsh-born singer is putting together a collection of murder tunes and related songs to protest capital punishment. The project is being headed by The Pine Valley Cosmonauts , one of Langfords many bands (the prolific musician also heads The Waco Brothers and The Mekons ). The Cosmonauts schtick is that they round up a variety of guest vocalists to create theme albums in the past theyve done collections of songs by Texas swing legend Bob Wills and have also been known to pay tribute to Johnny Cash. Their new album will be called The Executioners Last Songs and will be comprised wholly of old murder ballads and death row dirges. The album will be released by Bloodshot Records on March 19.

Extractions: There are many myths about the death penalty. Two common myths are that the death penalty deters crime and saves taxpayers money. Contrary to what people think, this is not the case. It has been proven that crime has increased because of the death penalty and it cost a taxpayer more money for an inmate on death row than someone serving a sentence. There are many people in the world trying to bring about the end of the death penalty. The first movement to abolish the death penalty started in 1845 with the organization of the American Society for the Abolition of Capital Punishment (Smith 4). Today, there are similar organizations using the internet to gain support from the public to abolish the death penalty. First in this paper, I will talk about the literature I found that pertained to the death penalty. Secondly, I will provide a census of the relevant websites, listserves and newsgroups. I will also speak of how the websites are being used to gain support. Lastly, I will focus on whether these groups are a virtual community.

C-reuters@clari.net (Reuters) writes: SALT LAKE CITY (Reuter) - A Utah state legislator who favors the death penalty said on Monday she will introduce legislation to ban executions by gunfire, saying the method hurts Utah's image. Death penalty opponents are focusing on the grizzly method to reinforce their arguments. John R. Grout replied with Hmmm... I think they meant "grisly". To which bcale1@uic.edu (Benj) said: Perhaps, they were talking of the little-known yet wildly successful Utah-ian method of capital punishment which involves coating the offender in honey and allowing grizzlies to rip their frail mortal bodies apart, limb by bloody, dismembered limb.

Extractions: Russell L. Hanson , Indiana University, Bloomington Pious Princes and Red-Hot Lovers: The Politics of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet Jerry Weinberger , Michigan State University Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is obviously a tragedy of impetuous young love. But it is also a play about politics, especially politics as conditioned by Christian morality and religion. The play's action is determined by the conflict between secular and priestly authority, and by the complex interaction among mercy, love, and punishment as practiced by Escalus, Prince of Verona, and Friar Laurence, the Franciscan. In the course of this action, the Veronese regime is transformed, and the common good determined, in ways more compatible with the friar's interests than with those of the Prince. Romeo and Juliet is one of Shakespeare's pictures of the unique problems that determined modern, as opposed to ancient, political life.

Extractions: Web posted at: 11:55 p.m. EST SPRINGFIELD, Illinois (CNN) Just 14 hours before Guinevere Swan Garcia was about to become the second woman in 20 years to be executed in the United States, her death sentence was commuted to life in prison with no chance of parole. Garcia, who earlier had fought to keep her execution date, said "thank God this has happened" when she heard Illinois Gov. Jim Edgar's decision. Garcia, 37, was scheduled to be put to death shortly after midnight Tuesday for shooting her husband during an argument. Over Garcia's objections, death penalty opponents Sister Miriam and Amnesty International's Bianca Jagger campaigned for her clemency. They argued that Garcia has had a long history of abuse that included alcoholism and sexual molestation, and that her execution would be inhumane in light of her harrowing past. But Garcia said she was prepared to accept her fate. She told the Illinois Prisoner Review Board that "this is not a suicide, I am responsible for these crimes." Gov. Edgar, who had never before overturned a death sentence, said Garcia's crime did not justify execution and that her husband's murder was not premeditated. "Horrible as was her crime, it is an offense comparable to those that judges and jurors have determined over and over again should not be punishable by death," Edgar said in a statement.
