I really don't see how this is a valid comparison. In this day and age the government isn't executing people for practicing alternative religions. Because people were wrongfully executed once upon a time, it is totally unacceptable to execute anyone ever again? Hey; governments used to imprison people for all sorts of ridiculous "crimes", and still do in some places. Does that mean we should never again put anyone in prison?
