This is very interesting; I live in a state with no death penalty, Minnesota. Maybe MN is just a more liberal state than the most, despite recent electoral outcomes, but the death penalty is foolish and barbaric. Let's examine Texas, the home state of our great president, note the sarcasm...Texas executes more people every year than most other states combined, but has this stopped or even quelled the number of murders per year in Texas? Why of course not, because every study done on the subject has proven that states and countries with capital punishment have higher murder rates than states without said punishment.
Capital punishment merely demonstrates to citizens it is ok to act out violently on our neighbors and friends. This barbarianism has grown even more, now that our beloved, bumbling moron of a president has invaded another nation for the first time in the history or the United States. But I digress...
What are the arguments for capital punishment? The right wing tells us an eye for an eye and that capital punishment is the moral thing to do. Well I beg to differ. Now if the right wing was really acting with Christian morals and ethics in mind wouldn't they believe there is only one judge? We can also examine the economics of capital punishment; it costs millions of dollars of tax payer’s money to bring a "murderer" to "justice." I thought the right wing wanted lower taxes? This seems might frivolous to me if you ask me. This nation needs a slap in the face! There are still open wounds in the nation, which need to be healed before galavting on crusades against independent nations.
