Very good the statement by Mario Cuomo. But I do believe that it is time to be more explicit in saying that life imprisonment without parole is not the real alternative to death penalty.I think that there is not any chance to abolish the death penalty if we stand on the point of arguments like:
life inprisonment is cheaper
let's keep that criminal in jail without any chanche to get out, and he will suffer more.

The argument is, must be, the internal contradiction between the American democracy and its providing the capital punishment. This intimate contradiction must be made clear by us. by the Radical Party or by... We'll see....
