Seriously, though, I have mixed emotions about this. For one thing, we've seen endless cases of mass jury ignorance. How much do you trust a system that can't get famous murderers convicted in Los Angeles even when their guilt is obvious to all?

The expansion of governmental oppression is staggering these days, which makes the right of the government to take the lives of it's own citizens all the more unpalatable to me.
