But by the same means Suzanne If the issue is ever brought to ballot and voted upon by the citizens of whatever U.S. State IF the vote is to keep the DP by a majority of that states citizens The anti camp should respect that and accept it and not try endlessly to hold up the results with appeals No one likes a sore loser

We're still working on Texas. We're not giving up, however. And there is no way I'll except the DP knowing what I know now. If it was voting for today, and the majority voted for the DP, I won't accept it. I'll keep fighting to abolish it.

People know your arguments and "facts". Most do not care. Let me ask you something, when you come across data and statistics that support the death penalty, what do you say to yourself? 1) i look for more data 2) i verify the sources 3) i compare the data

Truth;
Following these steps;
There are many independant studies, figures, and pollls in support of (let's call it) 'anti-arguments', many more than in support of 'pro-arguments'. I remember when u posted the info here, it came directly from pro.dp.com. I did question it and continue to question it based on the source and the fact that there is too much independant research availiable that oppose those figures. If it were otherwise i wouldn't use it as an argument, i look rationally and scientifically towards the dp issue.
It's simple, if u provide more credible and independant research and study results than i can provide, i might reconsider some of my opinions.

The basic thing is THIS in a nutshell you can banter back n forth pro veiws vs anti veiws til the very end of time but here in the United States matters of capital punishment are generally decided on a basis of whatever the majority of resident's of a particular US State want and until a mass majority in that state decide they wish to do away with the DP no matter what you wish or desire does not matter and you will change or effect nothing thats not an oppinion ...just pure simple truth That is not quite true. The majority of people can elect someone who will decide on that law. This elected person might not share his view or change it once in office. Once there is a law in place it is a lot harder to change it than to make it. So as always it is all about those in power.
