Following a trial and waiting for somebody to be put to death will be newspaper and television entertainment for thousands to chew over and cheer on over dinner.

I'm not even going to argue this on a financial level. Money has no place in a debate like this. It's ironic that Bananarama wants to kill drug dealers who cost us so much money by being in jail, when the real monetary problem is the ill fated war on drugs that has them there in the first place. A war which depletes government resources and makes organised crime gangs rich.

Joy.

Money has a place when deciding the sick have to die while we give a blank cheque for murderers to stay alive.......The finacial side should not be debted you say..Some love to run away from the truth by burying their heads conveniently in the sand because they have no rational argument to offer.....

I have offered plenty of arguments. You conveniently choose to target me on the one I did not wish to argue. Spare me your tedious patronization and join my campaign to shut down all cinemas, concerts and other staged entertainment events. People are dying sick. This is no time to laugh at Ricky Gervais.

In America plenty of capital punishment cases actually cost a whole lot more, considering the lenghty appeal process and various other legislative nuances.

Oops.
