Germany wants to ensure that it will not provide any evidence against the terrorists that would be used to apply the death penalty in the upcoming trial in New York. And I think that is the right and moral thing to do.

I like to think I am consistent in my beliefs. I am opposed to the death penalty because I do not believe it is wise to grant government the right to kill its citizens. I do not trust our government to be able to administer the death penalty fairly or justly. Indeed, we are currently releasing dozens of innocent men who have spent many years in prison for murders they did not commit.

For as long as humans have been able to communicate, they have told stories. Stories of great hunts, of heroes, of battles, and stories of creation. Aside from entertainment, the purpose of these stories was to describe proper behavior: for the hunter, how to bring down that mastodon; for the hero, how to rescue a Helen of Sparta; for soldiers, how to fight against hundreds of thousands when they are but 300; for the common people, rewards for following rules and punishments for breaking a taboo.

If you buy Playboy magazine for the boobs say so, be honest. It doesn't make you a bad person to admit the truth; quite the opposite, dissembling, lying, hiding the truth makes you a bad person.

DNA is just like a fishing hook - it can point to a guilty person so that law enforcement can catch him. But just because hooks catch fish, does not mean they always catch fish.

Those of us old enough to remember Johnny Carson will recall his Carnac the Magnificent routine where Johnny played the role of a swami who could divine the answers to a question inside a sealed envelope.

First off, let me say that the title "Death to All Offensive Bloggers" does not refer to a new Obama Administration Executive Order requiring that all right-wing bloggers be publicly executed. No, I'm talking about Iran's new push to include the death penalty for bloggers who write about or promote illegal activities, such as apostasy, prostitution, etc.

The Death Penalty is no deterrence to murder. If one looked at statistical evidence alone in this country it would seem that having the death penalty in fact increases the incidence of murder in your state.

In my article Muslim Cruises and Islamic Travel, I wrote, "I would prefer to be falsely accused of a capital crime in America than of a minor misdemeanor in Saudi Arabia."
It isn't even safe for a camel to be in Saudi Arabia - they sure LOVE their camels - wink wink nudge nudge.

America should not be in the company of savage, brutal, barbaric, and primitive nations. It may make you feel good to say "Kill the F*cken bastard," but some day, it could be you who is mistakenly thought of as that bastard.
