Yeah. He argues the case that punishments work. And I was with him at that point.
But then it kinda goes downhill there, with his barely controlled mouth-frothing spew about cancer and extermination.
Can't have it both ways, fella.

Someone made this point.
If harsher punishments work as an effective deterent, why are there still murders & other violent crimes in countries that issue the death penalty ?
