are you implying that people who support the death penalty do not have morals?

no...I completely understand why many folks are supportive of the death penalty and would never say they are lacking in morals. Morality in a gray world takes different paths...all I'm saying is that I wish if it is abolished it would be because folks do so because they feel it's the right thing to do, not to save a buck!

The only true way to end violence is by conditioning the masses. You can't tell the population to not kill when you do the same.

Lead by example yadda yadda cliche dur.
