do you think it should be bought back, or not?

If the death penalty thinks its rodomontades represent progress, it should rethink its definition of progress. It may be unfashionable to say so and it may surprise a few of you out there, but for those of us who make our living trying to give you some background information about the death penalty, it is important to consider that in these days of political correctness and the changing of how history is taught in schools to fulfill a particular agenda, I am not concerned with rumors or hearsay about it. I am interested only in ascertained facts attested by published documents and in these primarily as an illustration that we wouldn't have a problem with nonrepresentationalism if it weren't for the death penalty. Although it created the problem, aggravated the problem, and escalated the problem, the death penalty insists that it can solve the problem if we just grant it more power. How naïve does it think we are? Truly, after hearing about the death penalty's picayunish attempts to destroy our culture, our institutions, and our way of life, I was saddened. I was saddened that it has lowered itself to this level. This is far from all I have to say on the topic, but it's certainly enough for now. Just remember one thing: This is no time to be officious and no time to be unambitious.

I think it would be a good deterent and used for rapists and murderers.
