Years ago in Ca we had a referendum to reinstate the death penalty. I was first going to vote in favor of reinstatement but as I walked into the voting booth, and saw the lever I suddenly realized that by pulling the lever on the "yes" vote, I was responsible for the death of someone...............I completely changed my mind and voted against reinstatement. Just because a democracy votes to kill someone they deem "sociopathic" doesn't mean it's OK..............the public is still trying to organize a lynch mob.............just a democratic lynch mob and I wonder how it can be considered COnstitutional in relation to the BIll of RIghts which protects the will of the minority against the will of the majority.

A retarded person doesn't mature like the rest of us ( maybe it's a better state !!!). The mental age of reason they achieve is not beyond the age of grade school and their reality is often altered. They are clearly not making any rational decisions in relation to the ethical and moral code upon which our laws are based. The execution of a non-rational child with an altered reality is a bizarre action for any so-called civilized culture to allow or, in the worse case, support.
