The rejection of the death penalty is not a mark of higher civilization, but of a failure of confidence in one's own society and its right to define justice, exact retribution, and defend itself against predators. It is decadent........

TigerPaw, the consistent result of the death penalty is that society is insured that particular killer will not kill again. The protection and rights of society should transcend the coddling of one criminal.

12) Opponents proclaim that the death penalty is a barbaric act so dreadful in its implications that we can hardly bear to contemplate the horrors of its terrible character. On the other hand, they also assert that potential murderers, when confronted with the horrors of execution, will not be deterred by its infliction upon them. That proposition is, of course, absurd on the face of it (Revised from M. Stanton Evans, Clear and Present Danger). prodeathpenalty.com There's a lot more food for thought here but most people are through thinking about this, having made up their minds to suit their beliefs.
