How is it for you to decide whether imprisonment or death is better or worse? Presumably you're not facing either, and even if you were, it's not your job to decide that for other people.

Quote:BTW, just because a person has never been in prison there's no guarantee that he won't end up in an American prison in the future.  Remember, everything is illegal in America.

A. no, it's not.
B. what does any of that paragraph have to do with anything?
This will get you started about everything being illegal in America.http://www.dumblaws.com/laws/united-states.  And since dummies are making new laws everyday if something isn't illegal today it will soon be somewhere.  
People make decisions for others all of the time.  I'm perfectly capable and able to impose imprisonment or death for others if that was my job, such as being a juror.  It's not my job now but I can still express an opinion about it.  In most cases I would show mercy and vote "not guilty" if the charge was a typical run-of-the mill thing.
