It is tempting to argue this but the reality is we will not change each other's minds. I would prefer to acknowledge the difference and find a compromise. Victims and their families need some compassion from the justice system. If the murderer is housed and fed and sustained to the tune of $20-30,000 a year, I can see no reason for victims to not be compensated. It makes at least as much sense to judge a society by how it treats victims as it does to claim "enlightened self-interest" by abandoning the death penalty. When this justice happens, perhaps I will abandon my stance in favor of executions. "I'll let you be in my dreams, if I can be in yours" Talkin' World War III Blues by Bob Dylan
