so what about child molestors, tyranical dictators, fannatical terrorists, serial killers, and irritating celebrities? you can't possibly give them equal moral value.
if we could bring back gladiator-like events and instantly feed the these guilty parties to lions in the arena then i truely think this could actual UPHOLD the sanctity of life stance rather than hurt it. here's why:
1. money could be raised for admission. it's then given back to the families that these people affected. they're able to carry on better, raise happier babies, sanctity of life.
2. money could be raised from pay-per-view. see #1.
3. we get entertained, end up being happier, raise happier babies and so forth.
4. a lot of people thinking of becoming molestors, murderers, terrorists*, etc would be highly discouraged knowing that they will be ripped apart by lions. not only does the potential aggressor save his/her life BUT the potential victim is also saved.
*now i know whatcher thinking. "but terrorists aren't afraid to die. this won't work!!" 2 words for you: honey & ants. it WILL work dammit.*
