I just wanted to clear up some misconceptions people have about liberals and the death penalty. Many conservatives, with their usual black and white thinking, suppose that every single American liberal alive opposes the death penalty, and not only that, but feels sorry for the criminal to boot. This is balderdash however. We despise criminals just as much as you do, and only a very small but vocal minority of liberals actively opposes the death penalty.
To the main point: Why do some liberals oppose the death penalty?
A) It's very, very expensive. Yes, a lot more so than just shoving the bastard in prison for the rest of his life. Huge pull on our tax dollars
B) The number of people who have been wrongfully convicted, sentenced to death, and then found to be innocent is disturbingly high.
C) Statistically, minorities are far, far more likely to be put to death largely because of preconceived biases among the jury. Also, poorer minorities have to deal with shitty public defenders that can't put forth a good case, unlike far wealthier white criminals who can hire the best of the best.
If it were up to me, the death penalty would be applicable only in cases of definitive guilt (hard evidence that the perpetrator is the right dude). Also, he'd have to be at least 18, of course, and above a certain IQ threshold.

An euphemism denoting orgasm as used by Korn in "Last Legal Drug" song. The Little Death is a translation of the French "Le Petit Mort", meaning "a little/small death", since some women seem to faint or they really do while experiencing an orgasm which makes them look like dead for a while.
She experienced the little death when her boyfriend put all five fingers inside her.

Comedian John Oliver put it well on the Daily Show when he compared the death penalty to the McRib- "When it's gone, it seems so tantalizing. But once you have it, you think to yourself, this is ethically wrong. Should this be aloud in a civilized society?"
The death penalty is a controversial and often emotional issue, yet John Oliver was witty enough to poke fun at it in a way that would make people on both sides of the issue laugh.

Shortened name for the band Death Cab for Cutie. Formed in Bellingham, WA. Currently refer to Seattle, WA as their home. Known for their poppy songs mainly based on love and relationships and the ideas and situations that stem from those topics. Unfortunately Death Cab has been labeled largely as an emo band. While the line can be thin at times, this is not the case at all.
Band members are Christopher Walla (Guitar), Ben Gibbard (Lead Vocals, Writer), Nick Harmer (Bass), and Micheal Schorr (Drums). Albums include You Can Play These Songs with Chords (1997) Something About Airplanes (1999), We Have The Facts And We're Voting Yes (2000), The Photo Album (2001), Transatlanticism (2003), and Plans (2005). EPs include The Forbidden Love EP, Stability EP, Studio X Sessions EP, and The John Byrd EP.
Singles released so far include Stability from the Stability EP. A Movie Script Ending, We Laugh Indoors, and I was a Kaleidoscope from The Photo Album. The New Year, The Sound of Settling, and Title and Registration from Transatlanticism. Soul Meets Body, Crooked Teeth, and I Will Follow You into the Dark from Plans.
Death Cab is a very talented band.

A hug that a woman gives a man at the end of a Match.com date that indicates she has no interest in ever seeing him again.
After Louis received the hug of death, he hired a private investigator to find out why his Match.com date never returned his e-mail or phone calls.
