Actually, in Texas it costs between $50,000 and $60,000 per year to keep one person in prison. All of those buildings, guards, walls, etc., cost a LOT. Whereas, a graveyard plot costs about $50 a year. Nice and cheap. I agree with MagiK that some things are so evil that they cry out for anger and hatred. But, then, I am not a moral relevist.
