A cause for celebration.

Hey, that dangerous offender bit is pretty cool, allowing for people to stay in prison even if their offense doesn't seem to actually warrant a lifetime behind bars, like certain violent types or sexual offenders.

And I personally consider the money to be spent on keeping them where they are a drop in the bucket. I subscribe to the opinion that there's much better ways to cut down on 'waste' in our government's spending (Or any government's spending, mind you) then 'send em to the chair.'

Hence, the 'burn em because its a waste of money' doesn't fly with me, considering that it generally doesn't come attached with 'reduce waste everywhere' plans and ideas. If you are seriously fighting a war against waste, then that's at least a passable argument. If you're just using it as an excuse to lash out for emotionally-charged crimes, no thanks.
