and capitalism? Or are you just pointing out the irony? I ask cause I've been trying to sort out my feeling about this kid and the death penalty. And do I really blame this kid more that I blame a brain damaged black man who kills some people?>

The murderer may be a victim, but he is also responsible for what he did. And his victims deserve retribution. I don't expect any deterrent effect. Could even be a reverse deterrent effect, according to some research I've heard. I don't care.

I don't admit that this killing is also simular to the killing in CA. The Asian man who killed a bunch of people. It is race, but it isn't.>

I'm not sure what this is in reference to. I wouldn't say all murder should be punishable by death, but some should be, as far as I'm concerned.


> Still thinking. Nixon was an incredible movie, wasn't it? Do
we KNOW that Mao said that stuff to Nixon about history being a symtom of their sickness? Or did Oliver Stone make all that up?

I don't get the connection. I like Stone.
