Abolish the death penalty in the United ...
I fully object to the petition. Tell me, does one who takes another's life have any right to one of his own if that murder was unavoidable and premeditated. The truth is that out f all the five hundred or so executed (not murdered) criminals we only execute three innocents not the hundreds that our capitalist-biased media had led us to believe. Now, I recognize that even three people is an incredibly unacceptable substitute that could be completely avoided by say, competent public defenders. But the truth is that when one human kills another in a crime that did deserve the death penalty he therefore forfeits his own humnity and is to be regarded thenceforth as a sub-human. I repeat a person who commits a capitl crime is not worthy of humanity. Therefore we should have no more qualms about killing them than we would, say hunting deer.
