The philosophical conundrum posed by the usual death row convict is "why?" Why would someone do the things that put him in prison? If you assume he's sane - because if he isn't, he shouldn't be there, according to our policies. But if he is sane, what's the definition of "sane?" Maybe we should be asking this question about Madoff et al. as well, but their motives seem fairly understandable by contrast. It seems more reasonable, in a way, to kill someone if you understand him.
That is exactly the trouble with liberalism. The "why" is more important to you than the "what".

It's response to Tucson couldn't have proven this more true if it tried.

"liberalism", "conservatism" etc. is BS, that's exactly the trouble with that.

I'm talking about longstanding policy in the US: we don't execute crazies. Maybe we should - execute all crazies right away, that's the answer to Tucson, but we don't, even after they've committed whatever crime: insanity is a defense. Therefore the "why" is important to those of us in this country and any other with similar criminal law, not to "liberals" but to anyone who cares to think it through.

Where would you look for our current rulers? Among those who are crazy enough to seek office in today's political climate, or on Madison Avenue and places like that? I guess I'm with you, crazies rule.

Prophecy is coming alive today...

Isaiah 3:12
As for My people, children are their oppressors,
And women rule over them.
O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err,
And destroy the way of your paths.

Smart business oriented, logical, commonsense,practical people who have actually accomplished things worthwhile in their lives will not subject themselves or their families to abuse and run for high political offices in this country therefore we are left with ruling (liberal and conservatiuve ) bimbos who are somehow able to tear up an anvil with a feather.
