56. I'm not part of the official group, but I do add my voice

to this issue every chance that I get. It's important for people to realize that a government with the legal power to kill is a dangerous thing to civil liberty. Both the DP and war are institutionalized murder, both have the serious potential to kill innocent people, and both cost more than their more-compassionate alternatives.

The death penalty IS war; war against one person, rather than a nation full of people.

However, today is more about honoring Dad, so as you can see, I'm not arguing with those who hold the opposite view. Not today.
