No other western government kills its own citizens. Generally, the company we keep are those nations we criticize for poor human rights records. <BR/><BR/>I aslo find it amusing that those who yell the loudest about god-given "inalienable" rights are those who support the alienation of the right to life through capital punishment. <BR/><BR/>Regardless, I'd agree that emotional arguments have go place in discussing the legality of capital punishment. However, I think it has a place in ethical arguments.Jason Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02474901206909534905noreply@blogger.com
