Quote: I could have made some dough betting on that response
If I could find anyone to take the bait , er bet that is You're nothing if not predictable
In case you missed it: The discussion had turned to those wrongly convicted, which despite your assertions to the contrary do exist; and in disturbing numbers.
Right, and you of course can always be depended upon for something original. Never one to slavishly follow an Amnesty International, pseudo European Green, Jimmy Carter, smug leftist sort of course. You can always be depended upon for completely original thought. I'm sure it is simply coincidence that it is identical to that vast herd of independent thinkers who all think exactly the same as the hosts at MSNBC.
I'm sure you thought your laser like focus on the vanishingly tiny minority of death row inmates about whom there is a scintilla of doubt concerning their guilt (except among diehard activists that is) would sway those of us among the great unwashed ignorant masses so in need of your enlightened guidance. Personally, I'm not that easily convinced. I've heard the arguments before. Sorry to disappoint, I thought they were largely nonsense fifteen years ago when I voted in favor of the death penalty in the legislature and they have gained no legitimacy with time.
The fact that you did not respond to a single one of my arguments (or for that matter, anyone else's), and instead gave me your standard smug dismissive post, informs me that you are simply outclassed and unable to mount an effective counter argument. I find that to be quite common among those who fervently stand up for both the lives of vicious killers and Planned Parenthood. (Hey, YOU brought that into the conversation.)
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
