Ya but don't you believe in the power of forgiveness? Don't you think it's possible for someone to be 'redeemed' and have their sins washed away?

I DO think it's possible for a leopard to change it's stripes IF they truly want it. I could go into all of the sociological factors that produce ppl like Tony and Vito Corleone but it doesn't matter. If someone truly wants to change and be forgived I think they should have the right. Tony Soprano certainly seems to fit that bill. I don't think he would have any murderous impulses if he left the life behind. A child molestor(for example) may have their sickness their entire life and thus they should be in some sort of captivity their entire life. But I think that ppl like Tony and Paulie are capable of changing their ways, and Chris is still a young pup who's life could take many, many different directions.
