			<description><![CDATA[One of the oldest debates around, should the state have the power to execute where they see fit someone who is deemed to have committed a crime?<br />
<br />
I am of the opinion that the state should not execute anyone for any crime. I believe most (if not all) criminals have the ability to reform themselves and those that do not should not have their life taken away from them.<br />
<br />
It does not serve the public interest to execute a criminal, as long as measures are taken to protect the public from that individual indefinitely then death shouldn't even come into it.<br />
<br />
What do you think?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I have a question for all you Brits.  In watching Spooks, one thing that stands out to me is the proliferation of CCTV cameras.  I know we have similar cameras here in the States and that the number of cameras is increasing but it seems the concentration in Britain and specifically London is much higher.  I was wondering how you lot feel about that.  The question is not meant to be a criticism.  I'm just curious.  Thanks, in advance, for your responses.]]></description>
