    IN you case someone was killed.

    It really depends on what happened, and some idiots on /. are too stupid to do anything but break an issue into 2 parts. Don't commit any crime at all/Die of you commit any crime.

    My mother was a drunkard and crazy. I was 12 and had to feed her and my two brothers.
    Yeah, I stole. Robbed bread trucks, soda trucks, I would go into busy pizza places and just grab a pie off the counter and walk out.
    It was always a last resort, it was always about basic survival.
    And if I had to do it again, I would.

    You clearly had other avenues to get food and shelter.

    Death for Stealing a truck.
    that's not poetic justice, or poetic, or justice.

    Poetic justice would have been if the truck they stole had been stolen and they got pulled over because of the first theft.

    I"m more worried about the scum that thing Justice for stealing a truck is death then I am about people who steal trucks.

    Please learn to apply critical thinking skills to you're current mode of what I will generously call thinking.

    "Adam Smith believed in "an invisible hand", ie, the marketplace, that has the ability to regain sanity after a period of insanity, through the force of the combined participation of each and every participant (whether it be consumer / banker / manufacturer / miner / farmer)."

    NO, No. no no.

    Read his works. Oh, you will also nee to read Mandeville because that is what Smith is replying to. "Private Vices ... may be turned into Public Benefits"

    or at LEAST read the wikipedia page.

    Plus, the invisible hand idea has been shot down, completely. IT doesn't work anyplace except in an abstract version of the world that only exists in the minds of moral philosophers.

    He uses that same term to describe the orbit of Jupiter, as well. And since his note where destroyed at his(Smith's) request, for all we know he was referring to god controlling markets. granted, that's not likely, but the point remains.

    The current pop view of smiths 'the invisible hand' is a complete abuse. It's quoted either without understand or with the intent of lying.

    Smith did not trust business, warned they would conspire as well as use monopolies to keep prices high.
