I think it's a combination HAP.

I think there are probably far more people than you realise that hide highly unpalatable views and have areas where they could be considered quite extreme but their personal morality and mental health prevents them acting upon it and keeps them civilised.

It takes. A person without the checks and balances which keep us seeing others as more than obstacles and objects but as humans like our families AND a reason to need such obstacles removed (the ideology in this case) to cause such evens. That's why IMO they are quite rare.

My career, and that of many much smarter than me, has been spent wrestling with the ambiguity of that certainty.

I'm sure that's true, and that's the rub. At least in some cases we are willing to say that we are certain of it when the perp has passed away. I'm perfectly OK with unlimited confinement.

Since we're saying how we really feel, I feel he should be buried so deep in a penitentiary he needs his own postal code.

Aww, poor bastard, I feel so sorry for him <sarcastic>... I say line the floor of his cell with thumbtacks and take away his shoes. Maybe piss in that cold coffee to warm it up a bit.

I'm an atheist.

He needs to suffer every day of the rest of his life because of the parallel suffering of the families and friends that will remain with them. It's not about me.

I don't believe a death penalty achieves anything. My moral position is that murder is wrong. State/nations killing people is a contradiction where the state/nations laws state that murder is against the law.

What's the point in that. His suffering achieves nothing, he suffers until he dies but when he dies it will be no different to if he either didn't suffer or wasn't allowed to live.
