re: #53 vxbush

I can appreciate the desire to make corporal punishment a deterrent. I really can. But having to worry about splatter shields rather detracts from that, methinks.

Actually, I’m pretty much certain that the death penalty serves no useful deterrent purpose. If we’re going to have it, I think we need to be honest about it and admit that it’s applied for revenge.

I don’t have a problem with that.
