■Y MAMA NOSAL SGA REPORTER

The Sudent Senate held the last meeting of the semester on Tuesday, voting on a finance bill, resolution bill and passing a bill brought forth by the University Program Board, The UPB bill requested that $2,093.84 be moved from their reserve account to help with the purchase of a new computer, as well as programs for the system. "We've been waiting for the supplies for this whole semester," UPB executive director Jeremy Paredes said. Much of the software the UPB uses is outdated and it is looking to best serve its members by getting this software, Paredes added.

OPINION THE BREEZE | www.thebreeze.org | THURSDAY. DEC. 8,200516 HOUSE EDITORIAL THROUGH MURKY WATERS A foreboding milestone sv ALEX SHINTY SENIOR WtJTt*

Last Friday, 57-year-old Kenneth Boyd gained the dubious honor of being the l,00t)th person executed in the United States since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976 — a milestone of misguided fusbce. The morality of capital punishment depends on the motives behind its use. The justification for the death penalty in the United States has always been two-fold — deterrence and punishment. Unfortunately, neither of these is a valid justification. There is a third, society-oriented reason that is both valid and horrifying, however; the death penalty re- moves deviants from society, preventing recidivism and terminating a genetic line This isn't an encouraging view to take, as it means the motivation behind capital punishment is simply to kill. It is, however, the most prac- tical and only logical explanation that can be provided. As a deterrent, the death penalty simply does not work. There is no correlation between murder rates and the death penalty — the murder rates now are comparable to those in the 1970s, when there was no death penalty. As a'punishment, the death penalty is simply absurd. Any good punishment as any good parent will tell you, is intended to do one thing — stop a recurrence of the crime through negative reinforcement, thereby rehabilitating the child. The death penalty cannot be said to offer any rehabilitating power. Instead, the goal of capital punishment is to prevent any repeat of a crime through the simplest and least socially healthy way. The death penalty serves only one purpose — to eliminate extreme deviants from society. If it seems far-fetched that society would support this view, look at the success of movies like "Batman Begins" or "The Boondock Saints." Both these movies glorify vigilantism to an absurd degree, and 'The Boondock Saints" is especially relevant — it is based on the premise that "Someone should go kill those" criminals on the streets. "Kill them all," the main character says. Socially, this is not an entirely reprehensible goal. For a society to survive coherently, it must have some method of maintaining a cultur- ally homogeneous population. The problem, however, is that this can be taken to alarming extremes. Societal deviants are not limited to murderers. This category in- cludes loiterers, speeders and burglars, as well as people who violate so- cial norms that aren't legislated — by shouting vulgarities in a children's daycare, for example. The same theory that backs the death penalty could be used to sup- port extreme punishments for even the relatively minor crimes above and could easily be taken one step further — pre-birth genetic mod»- ficabon Many people who commit violent crimes are also victims of mental disease or psychological problems and it is likely mat a genebc explana- tion for the tendency toward violent crime will be found. While eliminat- ing violent criminals from the gene pool may not seem a terrible idea, the precedents it sets are. Once again we face the extreme examples — murder on one hand and jaywalking on the other. What if a gene that indicated a tendency to deviate from cultural norms was found? If eliminating murders is fine, why not pickpockets? The reason is simple: societies need deviants. Not on the scale of Ted I / It* Bundy, of course, but certainty on the scale of Galileo, Dr. Marbn Luther King, Jesus and Buddha — all of whom, perhaps, could have been elimi- 1 nated before they were bom because of the threat to the social order they represented. Fortunately, we are not at this point yet but maintaining the death penalty certainly sets a precedent for removing a society-threatening fe- €N EVAUif tus pre-birth. Both involve removing a social deviant from society, rather than attempting to return an individual to a socially productive role — one in which he or she can be the next Van Gogh. |Ml) Alex Sirney is a junior anthropology/SMAD major who welcomes com- ments at simeyac.
