Well, we don't have the death penalty here, which is good. But even then I don't think that they abolished it for the right reasons.
Murder and crimes that are as bad as that are awful, I agree. But I don't think that that is the right reason for capital punishment; because the crimes are awful. It is the principle that bugs me. That fact that people still hang onto what they think is right and wrong...and regardless of how subjective we know human opinion to be...still apply their own heavily-influenced views to a system of judgement that ultimately leads to taking someones life.
