"I am also for the death penalty for capital crimes."

Then you must disappointed that we are not putting 15,000 to 20,000 to death each year. Are you?

" If one of those kind killed a close relative of yours, you would feel the same, and for you to say otherwise, would be lying."

It is human nature to want retribution for the death of a loved one or family member, but that is why we have our society and our court system take responsibility for punishment of criminals. The family against family eye for an eye went out in this country with the Hatfields and McCoys......well, on second thought, the Mafia still operates that way.... Also, the Israeli's and the Palestinians seem to be doing the same thing at the moment.....great way to live, isn't it?
