Two deaths do not make a life. Think about Pope John Paul II who went to visit his accused, yet failed, assinator in prison. What a WITNESS!! The death penalty is born out of man's anger, not compassion. What we should be focusing on is helping families of victims to heal, not to focus their hurt in the form of agression on the accused murderer. Also, the cost of prisons is high because for some reason a person with a finance degree loses the ability to balance a budget when they enter politics. Don't ask me why, I can't explain it. You'll figure it out as you become a tax payer. It's a democratic society phenomenon that is yet to be studied by Cambridge U. So, what do we do about this??? How do we Witness our belief that every human life is sacred from Conception, when life begins, to natural death when life moves to eternity? Louis I think you are on the right path.
