Reply #44: I am Against the Death Penalty...

...because it is arbitrarily applied and there is no parole from the afterlife.

Too many people have been acquitted after spending years on Death Row; therefore the whole Capital Punishment system is flawed way, too deeply to trust the State executing ANYONE.

This has only been my stance in recent years, however. When I was younger, I was all for the whole "eye for an eye" sense of retribution the Death Penalty offered.

Maybe if/when I get even older, I will change my mind even more and be completely against Capital Punishment for purely moral reasons.
