re: Agreed

The government should not be in the business of killing its citizens, no matter what their crimes are, or how how strong the evidence is. Are there some criminals that I personally would like to kill? Yes, but the entire reason we have created law and government is to GOVERN the individual and his or her passions.

I am certain we have executed innocent people, and that is simply not acceptable to me, because it was done for 'us'. Life in prison with no parole is good enough- it may not satisfy our primal urge for revenge, but the law was never meant to do so.
