As for whether it SHOULD be dead or not... this is where I've a bone to pick. I feel conservative "answers" are easy to sell and don't actually work. Liberal approaches take thought and time and a measure of pragmatism which simply has no place in the current political climate.

Ok, I'm not really a hardliner but I will humor you until either BD or another of them summons up the courage to confront you...as to being a little wrong...
BD said..."(liberalism) has overtaken our court system that now measures crime in pragmatic examples of perception instead of having the same and "equal" punishment handed out to all, regardless of social position"
and you responded..."That's also not really true, given the current incarceration rate, I'd say that punishment is handed out both unevenly and frequently."
What am I missing here?
You say "that's not true" and then you appear to agree with him considering he says "instead of same" and you say "is uneven".
