1. Punishable by DEATH

"Why are the innocent punished?"

I heard someone say this recently (it's not the point who it was) and it got me thinking:

Isn't it a natural tendency to believe that no matter how hard you might try at something, no matter how much you care, strive or long for something; no matter how hard you might wish for the simplist of things- like wishing for a quiet life, with as little hassle as possible; no matter how hard you try to keep your head down, no matter how much love you have to give, and whether or not you believe in any kind of God; you are punishable by not only death, but loss?

I think it is only natural- only human- to feel this way once in a while. And it's the biggest pain in the ass.

To me, being bad is part of the every-day-healing-process. It's usefull.

Why shouldn't the convicted invent petty crimes to reflect their convictions of immortality?

-(a field trip to Amsterdam would provide a good setting for crimes against immortality, me thinks!)
