Christine: Although I am against the death penalty I take that position only because the system is NOT perfect. I know that innocents have been executed and as long as the system continues, more innocents will be executed in the future. Morally, I consider this murder by the State. Since I place the individual above the State, I believe the State is criminal in its behavior to institute such an imperfect, irreversible system. For those who are not innocent, however, the death penalty can be a form of justice. In the case of Tucker, she was a confessed murder and her conversion does not influence me because I believe organized religion is an irrational holdover from primitive societies and a form of madness all its own. "How much can one person atone for in a lifetime?" Much. It depends on the transgression. "How much can a person change?" It depends on the individual, the motivation and the inner need. "Does watching someone die who killed your loved one really make you feel better?" It obviously makes some people feel better. Probably depends on their psycho-epistemology. "Is revenge sweet, or does it lock your soul into a low place?" Depends on the type of revenge. Klingon revenge is probably the best. Father Terrence
