Tracy's thoughts on the death penalty:
1. I can absolutely guarantee one hundred percent that if a criminal is executed, he/she will never, ever harm another person again. Talk about favorable odds!
2. I understand that criminal cases are considered crimes "against the people" and not against individuals, but I still feel that the victim's family should have some (much, actually) say in whether the death penalty is applied or not.
3. Some death penalty opponants feel that it is applied unfairly toward minorities and men and therefore should be abolished. I don't know if that's true; I have never read up on the subject. If it is, however, that indicates to me that it should be used more widely, not less.
4. Opponants also complain that it's state sponsored revenge. I personally don't think revenge is that bad a thing but, hey, that's just me.
