Silas, you say "You can hang, shoot, chop off their heads.....I don't care" But I wonder if you yourself would be prepared to actually carry out the sentence? Could you in fact bring yourself to end the life of a person, lift the axe, say, or release the 'drop' on the scaffold, coldly unmoved by the terror and despair of the person before you? The character of the Common Man in Robert Bolt's play A Man For All Seasons beheaded Thomas More, and felt he was only obeying orders and carried no responsibility for the execution. I know that I could not kill even a mass murderer. Therefore I don't feel comfortable with anyone doing it in my name so to speak. This is not to say I don't feel bitterly sorry for the victims and their families. But execution is a terrible terrible thing, to deliberately snuff out the last spark of life from a human being, no I cannot support that.
