Capital Punishment

Here's the article: linky

If the death penalty is so righteous, then I must ask, do those delivering death still wear masks to conceal their identity? The argument that the Supreme Court debated involved the humane nature of lethal injection but overall with all capital punishment, I think that the righteousness of it is lacking. Yes, you could be getting rid of the guy that did terrible things, but is it better to get rid of these people not fit for society to free up space in our world? And yes, fulfill an "eye for an eye" mentality. Or is it better to at least keep them around in case they are incorrectly judged? Perhaps learn something from a man put to death in order to learn what makes a person like that tick. I cannot speak for others. I just know that I do not agree with putting people to death, especially in such a fixed scenario, and I could never kill someone anyway.

I think that it would be more useful to send those individuals put to death or put to life in prison to be placed on the front lines in Iraq and Afghanistan to at least do something to help us out instead of uselessly dying in a seat. If ever we had another D-Day like the Invasion of Normandy, I would like to see those members of death row be forced to run the gambit on those beaches and let them die there in front of the real soldiers we would lose. But I guess I am just dreaming that up, anyway.....
