Re: My Reason and Phillips Poll
I read that article and don't agree with him actually.
I think that the distinction between 'shadow of a doubt' that David wants and 'reasonable doubt' which is the standard for conviction would be too tricky to navigate and could be used inappropriately.
I am more in favor of simply abolishing the death-penalty.
Just my opinion which I am fully aware will not make a lick of difference to those legislators who have the power to go one way or the other.
I also disagree with the notion that a bunch of 2+2'ers should try to get together to push one political agenda or another.
We know that many of us are fairly sharp and understand EV and what-not....but that doesn't mean that anyone else in society will 'get it' or will care what a bunch of poker-playing degenerates have to say.
I think the Save Paul Phillips discussion is more important than 2+2 trying to push this stuff.
