No, I would not pay to watch another human being be put to death. Not even it were Osama.
Capital Punishment is one of the very few issues, in my life, that I have done a complete reversal of opinion on. I was formerly a staunch supporter of the death penalty. Now, however, I could not come out more strongly opposed to it. Certain evidence was put before me that forced this change. Suffice it to say, that I want no part of a system in which the sole value of a human life becomes another line in an attorney's resume. Regardless of the truth.
By the way, unless I'm mistaken, and I don't think that I am, Nebraska is now the only State in the Union that still uses the electric chair.
