I am still not totally again...Well, Medbh and Pax. I am still not totally against the death penalty as of yet. As stated in my post, my mind, and heart, go back and forth on the issue. I do not believe the death penalty is a deterrent to murder, except that the person who is executed will NEVER kill another. Even in countries that use very inhumane ways of execution, if there is ANY humane way of killing someone, murders still continue in those countries. It's just that sometimes there is a crime so heinous that the maybe the only heinous sentence is death. So I will let you both know if I ever in this lifetime reach a verdict in my own mind.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your opinions. You both know your opinions mean alot to me. Thanks for the encouraging words, Medbh.Karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05973642502435701590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12830512.post-42870396952611748652008-08-02T05:17:00.000-04:002008-08-02T05:17:00.000-04:00I have never supported the death penalty, having s...I have never supported the death penalty, having such a punishment keeps our society in the dark ages. <BR/><BR/>With the exception of extracting revenge, what else does the death penalty achieve? It does not bring the dead victim back. It is only there to satisfy our blood lust, therefore making all involved as guilty as the criminal.Pax Romanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00951019083510283683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12830512.post-11011536029725078142008-08-01T21:04:00.000-04:002008-08-01T21:04:00.000-04:00You are such a fine human being. You would not be ...You are such a fine human being. You would not be questioning why or why not you should eat meat or why the DP is a viable alternative to Life in Prison if you weren't.<BR/><BR/>Do you know how many Capricorns have changed the course of history? <BR/><BR/>http://www.ecentral.com/astra/fcap.html<BR/><BR/>Their sense of realism combined with thier compassion have changed history.<BR/><BR/> I admit,they are not always on the same mark that I follow, (Karl Rove is a Cap, Hugh Hefner is a Cap) but, they change history. <BR/><BR/>Martin Luther King was a Cap, as was Nostradamus, Ethel Merman, Joe Frazier, Muhammed Ali, Joan of ARC, Albert Schwietzer, Grant Tinker ( Mr. Grant.....) Gypsy Rose Lee, J.R.Tolkien, Tracy Ulman, Cary Grant, Rudyard Kipling, Clara Barton!!!, Henry Matisse, and on and on.<BR/><BR/>Soo, if you are against the Death Penalty,let me know. The Cherry Hill chapter of Amnesty USA needs some help. We need another strength based Cap!!!<BR/><BR/>ciao,<BR/>medbhAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
