"Let us kill men to show all men that killing men is wrong."

Where's the logic there?

IT'S CHEAPER?!?!?! We're talking about a human being here.

PEOPLE ARE NOT DISPOSABLE.

The argument "killing him is cheaper than keeping him in prison for life" merely adds to the cultural idea that people are disposable, which IMHO makes it more likely that more murders will be committed in the future.

It doesn't matter what's cheaper. It matters what is the RIGHT THING TO DO.

But what do I know? I worship this bizarre God who said, "You have heard that it was said, `Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous."
