Alright, Echoes, I believe you're still looking at this from an irrational perspective. I understand that "some" people do not like killing and believe it to be wrong in whatever way they please. Nevertheless you're right that humans are flawed and will always make mistakes - this is fact. Capital Punishment is not fully band in the western world, the United States has many states in which still participate. Also, many of the islands do too. Capital Punishment has nothing to do with giving the state "god-like" powers, we already give them enough power do we not? Capital Punishment is a legal act, that is all. If one is ignorant enough to commit a capital crime, then yes, they do deserve to be punished. I will not continue on with that point because then I feel I would be just in a Capital Punishment debate. Murder is murder, yes but murder is not Capital Punishment, Echoes, please do not confuse the two.
