CLINTON, J.,
dissents to the arguendo treatment and disposition of points three, four and five. Section 30.02 identifies “burglary” as a discrete offense, servmg to protect agamst intrusion in special places where people expect to be free from such an intrusion. Sections 30.03 and 30.04 particularly describe “machines” and “veMcles” as subjects. When the Legislature used “burglary” alone in in Section 30.02, it meant what it said. Moreover, murder committed in the course of theft is not capital murder. See slip opinion n. 6.
OVERSTREET, J., not participating.
