I still don't know. I mean I really thing the general public would see it as a TV show and not a live news type event. I think that is just how our society is. i think it would be more like blowing many people off their chairs if they saw an execution in ALL details (except for those people of course who are nutz enough to enjoy it and unleash the dragon and toss the salad while watching it...dang i got to know a few i would swear they do..another thing is these people should really be concerned about their emotional stability since this extreme kind of venting shows they have serious issues to come clean with some own emotional chaoz and obviously can´t handle that )..but well the biggest mouths are mostly those who never watched a person die in real life (except of natural courses maybe)... as i already said..it´s in the "name of the people" and so they should see what is done in their names...and if they can´t bear to see it...so what..take it or puke, call it justice and bear it or collapse...well all i gotta say then is "eat the soup you cooked you wanted it that way ..so swallow the brew Mo-DAWG

before everyone jumps down my throat, please hear me out. My propsal would be that we televise executions for a year. After a year of letting the citizenry witness the punishment that is being carried out in their name, we would then take a public vote on whether to have the DP. This would settle the debate once and for all on what the people want. If executions were broadcasted, I honestly do not know whether people would be appalled or desensitized. I do think if one supports the DP, one should view at least one execution. If most people could not bear to witness the punishment they support, I would be fine with abolition. Richard Cartwright wanted his televised.

I am sure YOU would have liked that I am sure you would have tuned in too. I am not trying to be morbid, but there is something primordial about watching murderer's die. For better or worse, if the crowd that turned out for the last public execution in the US is any indication of human nature, I bet the ratings for Cartwright's execution would have been through the roof.

You need to remember that Richard's family and close friends visit this site. For you to say something like that really makes me sick. Really you need to learn to be a bit more compassionate on this site.

Really you need to learn to be a bit more compassionate on this site. I was trying to have an honest discussion, and even provided a reasonable criterion that could be met to bring about abolition. Sorry if i accidently stepped on someone's toes. I am not out to hurt anyone's feelings here. the DP is a tough issue, and I am interested in discussing it with anits. Its not like you need thick skin to debate the issue, but it appears you have paper thin skin that can't handle the truth. In all seriouness, if an execution were aired, it would get huge ratings. I am not saying that is a good thing, but I would bet alot of money that millions of people would tune in. If that makes you sick, your beef is not with me, but with the human condition as a whole.

My 'Beef" is with you saying things about Richard and what his raitings would have been. You need to be more compassionate with things like that. You want to debate this issue, go for it. But leave names of people out of it when you speak like that.

Do you think it would have not gotten high ratings. As a matter of fact, Cartwright would have WANTED it to get high ratings. Why would he want his execution televised if no one would watch it?

They way it seemed to me was that you were trying to make a joke out of it and that is what I have a problem with.

Actually Rich would have wanted the high ratings. I think he would have gotten high ratings myself. We've change many pro's minds about the death penalty who stated that they weren't really as educated as they were prior to reading his articles. Once strong pros, now either anti or the justice system needs to be majorly reformed before being for the dp again. Many people educated themselves about the death penalty (and not from Rich's site. That's what got them started). It is unreal the response we got from him. I think that's what scares these pro's so much. We are getting people to educate themselves rather than just take someone's word for it about the dp.
