You know...  I've seen you two constantly go at it over just about every
bleeping thing in the world... Can't you 2 agree on one thing?  I
know... That you both agree to disagree!  :)

Seriously... I don't trust the judicial system.  Too many people have been
convicted and later found to be innocent.  My thoughts on this capitol
punishment... just one mistake is too many.  Lets consider this... are you
bound to tell the truth?  Who's to say if the "Eye Witness" is telling the
truth?  I'm sorry, your saying a "Trial by jury of their peers" is frought
with too many gray areas.
