I must be a weird being.I love/hate the aclu.I don’t like the freaks they coddle sometimes, but I’d love it if they’d fry my employer(and all their ilk…think halliburton/blackwater types).Does anyone remember the loonies(here) a few years back that were eating the rich?I think they got executed in the mid/late 90’s.Good thing I think,as long as irrefutable proof was presented.But…I think recreational drugs should be legal.
Concientious capitalism.Socialized democracy.Less emphasis on shareholder(gabillionaire) value.Execution of the deserving.What’s wrong with any of that?

I thought Roh did pardon Kim Dae-up . . . ?

Roh almost pardoned Kim Dae-up, the guy effectively stole the election for him with a false allegation five years ago. The fact that he even considered his pardon says something about Roh. Roh wanted to thank him, as he did to many of his departing ministers and other senior advisors with government medals, but even he found it too much for the public opinion to digest, so he had to drop the idea.

#4/13…What I find amusing is your use of the term “civilized” when referring to South Korea or any other part of this world we inhabit. Texans at least get to vote (most other nations do not) on whether or not to execute cold blooded murderers of “innocents” or having them live for years enjoying food, shelter, cable TV, and even a free education on the tax payers’ dime. Feel free to pay my share, and then I’ll consider letting these pillars of society live out their lives’ in a state pen.

#12,

I wasn’t aware of that one, not that it surprises he’d do something like that.

It would be nice if Mr Marmot issued pardons for banned posters.

#8 & #9 — yes, it’s always amusing that the pro-death right-wingers are SO proud to be in the legal-ethics company of China, Burma, Sudan and Saudi Arabia… Those most excellent models for America to emulate…
