In what sense is capital punishment actually punishment? It achieves none of the aims of punishment, deterrent or correction. They'll be dead for one, with no time to learn the error of their ways as it were, and it doesn't deter, given people are still being executed by the state. It's simply the state exacting revenge on behalf of the victims. Must agree with bozo here.

"Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weak minds."
Einstein
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down happy. They told me I didn't understand the assignment. I told them they didn't understand life.
