Sure, if you like maniacs running loose and doing all sorts of wrong things. Wouldn't you want mass murderers executed?

No, I don't like "maniacs running loose and doing all sorts of wrong things" and I don't like "mass murderers". That's exactly why I am opposed to government.

I was refering to individual people. If someone DIRECTY, WITH NO GOVERNMENT INVOLVEMENT AT ALL killed someone dear to you, wouldn't you want them executed?

My position on the death penalty is not relevant to this discussion.

Well, dispite you stance on it, wouldn't you want there to be a way where he or she can never hurt anyone again?

10. Maine must vote as a state in Presidential Elections.
11. Nebraska must vote as a state in Presidential Elections.

All 50 states should vote the way Maine and Nebraska do.

See I completely disagree. We're meant to be a nation where the winner is elected by a majority of people from the majority of states and it's done through an Electoral College. Popular votes are very dangerous and bring a mob mentality where all you have to do is appeal to the masses. We're supposed to vote as states, not districts. Districts decide on who their representative will be in Washington.
Making a national popular vote would enable your "mob mentality" scenario. My proposal would do the opposite.
