Mike Farrell rocks

I just saw him on Larry King Live at what appeared to be a vigil. Very passionate speaker regarding the absurdity of capital punishment.

This is an excerpt from his website:

"I believe killing is wrong. That being so, I believe that the state (or the people in a civilized society) have a special responsibility to always act in a manner that honors the principles of humanity that underpin our society. For the state to kill teaches that killing is appropriate under certain circumstances and, by extension, provides justification to those who believe that their particular case or circumstance warrants it as well. The young, in particular, learn behavior from us and this requires that we always reach for the higher standard."
