petergrt, I love how many of the republicans use the term intellectual as if it is some sort of insult. I guess it is if you are trying to describe those that are not like you, so yes in your case you would not be an intellectual. HA but I digress.
Thanks noblepa for that legal clarification.
And Bruce, I dont think it is fair either that the US tax payer has to pay for his stay in prison, but THAT IS the punishment that most nations have choosen and as a western nation that upholds the duties of justice, law and order, then it is the responsibility to subject them to the same punishment as is befitting all peoples. Personally I think that these people (lifers in prison) should be put to good use and burnt in a furnace, at least their bodies will go to heating my bleeep when its cold, but I imagine a few ethical issues (and not to mention health issues) in using bodies as fuel in the winter.
