You know what? I was watching the History Channel the other day-- they're doing those entire week-long piece on Rome, and of course they mention the gladiators (who were slaves or criminals). There was a culture that gleefuly endorsed people killing people and animals killing people in an arena, but sex was far more taboo (even though everyone was doing it, you had to be very private about it).
So I had an idea. Not only should we keep the death penalty, but there should be more criminals put to death, and it should be on TV. And I don't care if it turns out the man (or woman) was innocent later on, who cares? Honestly? The innocent person, sure. But hey, at least he/she gets to go out in a blaze of glory (of course, this would only apply to killers, rapists, and corporate execs).
