Lonesome EJ: "the will of the majority"???? give me a break. That's hardly an argument to use following the last US election!

Capital punishment is no deterrent for criminal acts. That's a proven fact. So any arguments FOR the death penalty are an emotive wish for revenge on the victims who too often are victims themselves of crimes ranging from poverty to abuse perpetrated against them.

Besides, I thought it was un-American to seek an eye for an eye.

Thanks Fionn for bringing this to our attention.
