Just wanted to bristle my feathers a bit and get some props! :lol:

You are one of the few who gives a logical reason for the death panlty in my opinion, as I think I'm one of the few who gives a logical reason against. (bristling my own feathers a bit as well)

My only problem with the death penalty is that the government being involved with the premeditated killing of its own citizens for any reasons while the people are not allowed to do the same.

In my opinion, this grants a "overlord" quality to the governemnt. If organized duels were still legal as they were back in teh day, where two parties could engage in a "fight to the death" without the risk of penalty if succesful, my objections to the death penalty would cease.

Great addition... and I agree completely.
