1. Do you think that capital punishment — as the system now operates — is a deterrent to crime on any level?

Not really so much.

2. With changes and/or improvements to the justice system designed to better enforce capital punishment, do you think it could be a better deterrent to crime?

I don't think so. People are not frequently motivated by logic in the commission of murder.

3. Should the punishment a man who kills a pregnant woman be worse than the punishment a man who kills a non-pregnant woman faces?

Nope. I mean, a lifetime in jail can only be served once, and if you believe in capital punishment, you can only kill somone once.

4. Take the quiz: What Felony Are You?

I was a Stalker when I took it awhile back.

5. You stop by a post office to run in and mail a letter, knowing you’ll only be inside the building for 10 seconds. To park close to the door, there are only two options: you can either park in an open handicapped space (and assume you don’t have a handicapped permit) or park illegally in the fire lane. Would you take a handicapped space, park in the fire lane, or park in a legitimate, legal space and walk?

I never park in handicapped spots unless I'm with someone with a flag/plate. Ditto fire lane. I have handicapped family & friends, and a firefighter brother; they'd all be yelling at me in my head! Also, I live in a small town: my luck, the City Manager would catch me, or my pastor.

6. Should police target people who use marijuana when there is no legitimate medicinal need for it?

I think the whole situation around the marijuana laws in this country is completely BEYOND fubar.
