Call me loony Tom, but I think the death penalty is highly under-rated

Hmm.........just a couple of points.

I have no idea what you think posting this stuff will accomplish, but
as an observer basically ignorant of your politics as such, some
observations might be of use to you.

You have already amply demonstrated your readiness to insult,
aggravate, lie about ,and smear somebody, simply because you felt like
it and because you could. There is little doubt that you would also do
anything else in your power to obtain your ends, which appear to be
completely biased, ideological in nature, and indeed bordering on
fanaticism.

Indeed, you did this on a personal level, without any knowledge at all
of the person involved, and without regard for any possible
consequences.

It must be obvious even to you that this rubbish is not going to
convince anybody here of anything at all, except that you are a
borderline nutcase.

There are greedy, corrupt, and dangerous politicians in all parties,
and all governments. This is to a considerable extent the nature of
the beast. No particular party has a monopoly on such things, and as a
general rule no particular party is better than any other in such
regard. There are always people who think their ends justify any
means, even when those ends are personal, and regardless of the
motivation.

All these things are caused by individuals. People just like you are
responsible for it.

The people you are complaining about do what they do because they feel
like it, and because they can, for power, money, or even just whim,
like you. They can only do so because people like you support them.
You may have a slightly different ideology to some of them, but you
are just as dangerous as they are, you merely lack the power they
have.

I am unable to imagine how if you stopped to think, that these things
would not become obvious to you. They are obvious to some others.

With regard to the death penalty, in some places you too would be
murdered for what you have written,
