Only under YOUR set of morals and values. That kind of statement is too general and should come with a few *
*Not if you are the President sending troops to kill people
*Not if you are a soldier in a declared war
*Not if you are the governer executing a prisoner
The point is that no one moral is so set in stone that you can declare that "those who take life from another do not deserve their own life." They do derserve punishment but more killing only lowers us all to their level and does nothing for the security of our nation. --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence. |
