We've reached 20 votes, with a majority opposing executions in all circumstances. Of course, in a representative democracy based upon "majority rule," this plurality of opinion would not allow for executions. Even if only one-third opposed, how can those of you who would still support executions "in theory" ever support such "in practice" due to the fact that you would need to exclude one-third of the population (assuming, of course, a completely atheistic, hypothetical country) from serving on a jury overseeing a capital case?
