Death Penalty, For cases in which there is no doubt, ie video, overwhelming evidence in heinous cases, go for it. Just don't kill people like Scott Peterson where there is no physical evidence he commited the crime. Child molestors should be put down. Some people can't be or do not deserve to be reformed.
I'll avoid going off on my preferred rant on the death penalty (I changed my position to be against it years ago after thinking it through for a good while), but just a note regarding "overwhelming evidence": video is not. In fact the possibility of tampering is one of my many arguments against the death penalty.
