I oppose capital punishment for exactly the opposite reason from most people. My personal metaphysical journey has lead me to believe that death is no big thing. I am opposed to letting murderers off easy by hooking them up to an IV drip and sending their sorry asses off to whatever comes next. A life sentence with no chance of parole is real punishment. The perpetrator has to face what he did until the day he dies of natural causes. A death sentence merely sends the guy home from school early.
