 Well, I have a few problems with this.

 First, I don't believe that I have the right
to take someone else's life unless it is to
save my own or someone else's life.

 Second, we hear too often of someone found
innocent, sometimes before and sometimes
after they have been executed. Life without
parole would allow them the opportunity to
prove innocence; but, failing that, they
would remain in jail.

 Third, it (currently) costs so much to put
someone on Death Row that it is cheaper to
jail them for life. I could live with "life
without parole" (with a few changes).

 I have to agree with you there.

 Our "compassion" is just the opposite.

 It's kind of like with kids. Doing it "for"
them instead of letting them do it
themselves, or being soft when punishment is
due, or reducing or eliminating the natural
consequences of their actions seems like
compassion; but really it's cruel because
they are not being allowed to grow up and it
encourages wrong behavior.

 TTYL.
