Judeo-Christian priciples (aka, The Ten Commandments) state: Thou Shalt Not Kill.

"An eye for an eye" is quite fulfilling as revenge, but, whatever happened to "turn the other cheek"?

But, given that, I am also in the middle on this issue.

If someone I loved was murdered, of course I'd personally want the perp to die a most miserable and suffering death! But we're still talking about taking lives here. Even the biggest scum of the earth. The other side of me (the logical side) realizes that it takes thousands upon thousands of taxpayer dollars to keep someone alive on death row for years and years.

Someone brought up abortion, which is a separate issue. So I'll just quickly say: I'm not for abortion, but, I do respect a woman's right to choose. I'd never choose it myself, but, I'm not a woman. However - I believe that such innocent lives are taken every single day -- some of those lives could have been the potential to cure cancer and AIDS or create world peace, we don't know -- but at the same time, the proponents of (practically) infanticide are also campaigning to save the lives of mass murderers and the rest of the scum of the earth?? The same who've wanted us to leave Sadam in power to commit more genocide on his people??

Crazy.

If I had the answer, I'd provide it. But I don't -- no one does. We just have personal opinions. And that's mine.
