Since I am into ambuigity, I am FOR the death penalty. Soem animals arent fit for our society. Short of sending them to a colony on the moon, the most vile offenders need to be dealt with according to societys standards. As long as we live in a representative democracy, and the majority of the representatives we elect still believe in it, then I support it.
As a poli sci major with a minor in clutural anthropology, I see the uS eventually eliminating it, as a society growes older, it tends to liberalize, and that is one of the things that tends to go....

I know Martin Luther King Jr. said that as well, but perhaps he was referencing Ghandi at the time too.
