Good idea but I don’t think PA waterways will be greatly affected. The waterways south and west of the site are of greater concern. There’s a divide that runs through PA. Everything east of the divide ends up in the Chesapeake, everything west heads to the Mississippi then the Gulf.

There’s a triple divide point in Potter where the watershed of the Mississippi, Chesapeake and St Lawrence seaway meet.

Kk. Simplified in such a way my 11 year olds could understand. The rules only work if they're equally applied to all suspects and criminals. Once a single review of evidence becomes enough to kill a person, it becomes enough to kill the appeals process altogether. What with how dead people don't get appeals.

In todays age we have deep fake videos and college kids creating amazing visual art that looks real so even that type of evidence becomes sketchy.

I appreciate you speaking up for your view. I think my qualms about death penalty are two fold:

  1. The legal costs usually amount more than life in prison so we aren’t saving any effort just killing.
  2. The person doesn’t get a chance to rehabilitate or feel remorse for their actions. We don’t know if there’s a hell or afterlife so we are really just cutting their sentence down to nothing

I think of the absolute worst person in the world, Hitler, and he chose the death penalty over being imprisoned. He robbed us of actually holding him accountable. If I want hitler to rot in a cell, there’s no one worse that I would rather just die and we move on from.

Gotcha, that makes sense.

I'm not too familiar with Upstate NY. I'm more familiar with New England. I know Ithaca is home to Cornell University so it has a lot of young people and I've heard it's a nice college town.

I've heard Binghamton used to not be as nice but I think it's gotten better? Don't quote me on that.

Don't know anything about Elmira.

You could probably knock out all those places if you took a few days road trip to check them out.

Edit: Upstate NY is a large area so you could also try asking in one of the NY subreddits for some more guidance

Edit 2: the areas of NY you mentioned aren't actually near the Adirondacks. They aren't flat, but the Dacks are further Northeast and are significantly bigger
