Re: Capital Punishment: Is it right?
A democratically elected government is an extention of the people's will. If a democratically elected government willingly kills people by virtue of a law enabling Capital Punishment, then the people who have voted this government into power are all party to murder.
You can't justify this by saying "Yes, but he was a murder." What's his history got to do with it? Let's say that I kill my neighbour, because my neighbour killed someone years ago. His history has nothing to do with the fact that I've now committed a murder, too.
Catch a criminal, and punish him - sure. But don't kill another person on my behalf. A government allowing Capital Punishment makes killers out of everybody who voted that government into place.
