Yes, I think that is true. But I don't think you are 'wrong" in your position. And I don't think I am wrong either.
One person thinks Cubasis is the best DAW. Another says Auria Pro. People can have different opinions about trivial things like DAWs and about serious things like how society should be run.
I like the idea of sortition:

I'm glad I didn't say that - I'd be shot down in flames :-)
Why stop at the death penalty? Governments should have no right to end anybody’s life.
Please pass the whirled peas.
It seems most of us have tucked into the hubris chips and no appetite left for the good stuff
Congratulation on a civil discussion fellow forum members
Who can see all the layers of the onion? While we debate an issue never to be ethically resolved, the same forces are trying to destroy the rights of women (strangely obverse death penalty) Kill the bad guy, save the fetus!
Life imitates comic books. Authoritarianism says democracy doesn’t work in America. Charlie Lindbergh on steroids times Make America Great Again. Unfortunately, comic books have sobered up. The line between good and evil has thinned. Time to make comic books great again!
Trump knew a good death penalty when he saw one. Get those five murderers back in the can. Fake exoneration!
While the death penalty cannot be ethically resolved, a prison system incarcerating millions is out of sight of the common man. We can think and judge about life vs. death, but the manifestations of human suffering are too damn overwhelming to address. So we focus on .000001% of a bigger issue. A human life is precious, but ten million in Afghanistan? “Well, I don’t want to do that (but I could)”. Now there is reason fodder for a Nobel if I ever heard it!
6.There are other rationales besides revenge for removing a cancerous cell from the societal organism... If you are always right, that is.
When you look at a guy like Stephen Miller you see the face of immigration gone rotten. After all, as told by Miller’s uncle, Steve’s great grandfather escaped the pogroms, came to Amerikay in 1903 with eight bucks (a tidy sum back then when there was a free lunch... the 1903 equivalent of universal healthcare, except women were not allowed in bars) and created the financial (but obviously not moral) foundation for Steve’s tortured opinions by working his ass off and building a chain of supermarkets. We, of the tribe, are used to the self hating Jew, but hating our forefathers... that is an idea whose time has obviously come. Bravo, Steve. You and Jared are two good reasons to hate the Jews, why keep it all to yourself?
Self murder is illegal, I believe. If the potential self murderer could be certain of a lethal injection perhaps there could be an exchange program. A kind of Charles Darnay, Henry Carton, exchange at the prison gate... or better, at some international border. I would immigrate for a painless end.
I have personally abjured posting political threads, but, as always, IMO, it has a place here in proportion. We love iOS because we are human beings... and human beings.... well, they do get cranky now and again. Don’t see any reason why the whole musician can’t be represented here so long as he/she is respectful.
Have a great summer, guys!

It wasn't easy - those guys who don't agree with me are such assholes!
Just kidding, just kidding... sorry, couldn't help myself. LOL. I'm a dick! :-)
@Max23, Shiva, the sine wave....the indomitable brutality of human nature.... f this? Couldn't agree more!
Don't see any problems. The convicted people are already in death row but their sentences now seem to be really executed. Let's face it. New death sentences are becoming more scarce and are in decline in the US. But most important the USA is a democracy so it's the a decision of the people that are now in power. Also the sentences are excuted in a "humane" way.
Also let's face it under Obama the death penalty was never officially abolished.
And also let's not forget, the five men named by Barr Thursday, three are white, one is black, and one is Native American. So I don't see any race or gender issues that always come up when discussions turn political.
@Max23 “Absurd” ... interesting word choice.
And @LinearLineman
I agree it makes no sense for a certain segment of society to champion fetus right to live while supporting the death penalty and the American war machine.
It should also make no sense for another certain segment of society to
1. decry a government power to end the life of it’s own citizens while simultaneously
2. championing a woman’s power to end the life of her own unborn...
The power to execute termination of another human life should never be granted to anyone no matter what right they declare to have to do so.
I think the point I’m trying to make is that the common “womens rights” perspective on abortion is actually very close to the perspective of those who believe in the death penalty...
Execution sentences often end up costing MORE than life sentences due to the legal costs involved in the protracted appeal process in those cases.
Not-so-fun facts:
https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/URLs_Cited/OT2016/16-5247/16-5247-2.pdf
Racial disparities are a MAJOR problem in this area. Not only are people of color more likely to be executed, but so are folks whose victims are white.
Again, sortition. Solves the problem of discriminating against minorities, discriminating on socio-economical basis, the problem of getting reelected, seeking political power for profit, etc. So elegant. Worth checking out in my opinion.
Just wanted to clear this up.
Trump advisers behind bars: 2
Priests locked up: 0
Millions lost by the Catholic Church: 0. But it did cost them billions, apparently.
Powerful People in entertainment: I would only need two hands to count them.
I like how the death penalty really keeps the spirit of killing alive.

Ah now we’re talking. 😈😈😈
Why did you bring up Obama again? Because he didn’t do what no other president before him would or could do? Not sure how that’s relevant but would love to hear more.
And so Barr names five men to be executed and three are white and two are other and this proves what again? That race shouldn’t be an issue because three of the guys he named are white? Am I missing an important stat these five names represent?
If you read criminal history, you will know that coerced confessions are an ongoing essentially unsolvable problem.
Even in very recent history.
So, the argument for only executing people that are REALLY guilty is an argument driven by a wish.
Nothing is improved by executing people. If revenge gives people momentary satisfaction that is not a lust we should try to satisfy.
Nothing restores a murderer's victims. Or the wrong they did.
When the State sanctions execution, it sends a message to individuals that murder CAN re-dress a wrong.
We need to get over the notion that satisfying vengeful feelings is somehow a good thing.

Also, recent deep fakes of Scarlett Johansson show just how awesome and sexy faking evidence will get.
To add some clarity: President's can abolish the death penalty. That takes an act of congress. They can stop the Bureau of Prisons, which is under executive control and responsible for carrying out executions, from carrying them out. That was done 20 years ago. Trump/Barr reversed that policy, so now the executions are happening.
