Death Penalty
March 23, 2009 at 12:05 pm
What are your opinions on the Death Penalty and why?

I am personally against it. I live in MA, a state without the Death Penalty. My reasons in a nutshell come down to my moral belief that it is ineffective as a deterrent, more costly than life, and most importantly in my mind mistakes are made and innocent people die.

I have more to say, but I want people to respond first.
