What I was saying is that there isn´t a direct connection between death penalty and a lower crime rate, because then we would have a high crime rate (which we don´t)

demographically parts of MN closely resemble Sweden or Norway, due to heavy Scandinavian immigration and settlement in the last century and before.
yes, there is a connection between the death penalty and the ability to commit crimes.
an executed murderer has killed his or her last victim.

We haven´t hung people here for a long time, so it´s not exactely something new

no, I said that I would run for office if Karen would serve on my campaign committee! :laugh:
not to split hairs of course, but that ability is a prerequisite for higher office.

I know, its the "laws and sausages" syndrome - I am very sympathetic and understanding of your revulsion from politics.
I can't stop myself from dabbling, I am just into self-punishment. :laugh:
