I think it's worth some thought that so many people who claim to be for the death penalty are also anti-choice. I think these people should be a little more consistent.
As for myself, I am virulently against the death penalty. I am looking for the information now, but I've read that the United States is one of the only First World countries that still practices the death penalty, and the others are on a list that would probably remind you of old Dubya's "axis of evil". When I find the list, I will post it. If the death penalty was given based on the severity of the crime, there would be another story entirely. But since it's not, there's a big flaw within the system. Also, what gives us the right to end someone's life, just because they killed someone? Two wrongs don't make a right!
Before we get on the veal vs. eggs controversy: has anyone ever seen footage of the hens who lay eggs? They are "kept in a cage and (are) not allowed to move and roam about" and they are injected with hormones for their entire lifes and their beaks are cut off. I don't know how I got on the egg tangent, but it is worth some thought. So, think about it.
