    A funny but scary article. It is sad just how true something like this could be given the complete idiots CA voters have sent to Sacramento

    Now that Illinois has abolished the death penalty, other states are expected to follow suit. That would save taxpayers a bundle, as would lowering marijuana possession to a misdemeanor, something that apparently 75% of Californians approve.

    I guess the rest have moved on to coke and heroine.

    Nah, they're the old school blue-haired Reaganites who believe that one toke leads to a life of crime, unless you Just Say No.

    Of course, but in increments. Remember, we had a chance to legalize it, but - you'll pardon the expression - we blew it.

    It's good to see the Onion can and does still dish it out in all directions.

    True, but this one is very close to reality.

    The costs of capital punishment in California

    Imagine what $4 billion could be used for.

    Nationwide, 88% of marijuana sentences are for possession only...

    ...and $47,000 a year to incarcerate an inmate for one year in the State of California...

    The middling baby boomers (born '50-'55) are like that too. Damned annoying.

    Well, include me out.

    And how many of those Boomers are resisting legalization because it'll cut into their profits? :D

    Good on California for taking the initiative by using their prison system as a stimulus towards their economy. Many jobs must have been created to carry out the death penalty. :techman:

    Garamet as is almost always the case is wrong. To execute people is not all that expensive. To house them for decades and pay for ridiculous number of appeals, that what costs the money.

    Maybe a good start would be to overhaul the stupid laws that put casual drug users into prison.

    Imagine how much money that would save actually.

    How did it get this far anyways.
