I have to admit I think there are people in the world we can do without - Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, Justin Bieber - you know, the worst of the worst. So it's hard for me to say we should lose the death penalty altogether.
That said, we need to take a good hard look at what we're doing and where we stand relative to the rest of the "civilized" world.
State-Sponsored Barbarism isn't exactly what we want USAmerica to be known for is it?
And when we're the only "free" country that still kills its own citizens on a regular basis, it seems American Exceptionalism is completely ass-over-apricots.
