I might post about it eventually, but I've been posting a lot lately and I generally try to keep things lighter. I suspect people like funny links and music better than serious stuff like me ranting about the death penalty.
I'm not torn at all. I'm fully against it. Two wrongs do not make a right. I in no way feel bad for the people facing the death penalty, they should be in prison and away from society for the rest of their lives. If possible, I'd have them doing some sort of hard labor in prison and no access to TV, books, music, other people, all that. No enjoyment.
However, to kill these people makes us as bad as them. ...well, not "as bad as", but it's making us do the same crime that we're killing them for.

That's the short version of it!
