Kukri, the US doesn't apply the death penalty. Specific states apply the death penalty, others don't. Unfair to states like Alaska, Minnesota, or Wisconsin.
I'm for the death penalty. Some criminals simply need to be put down like rabid dogs, those who've committed heinous crimes against mankind. No man, no problem. While it's effect as a deterrent are left in the air, it does create a serious punishment for those who commit a serious crime; fair.
Besides, as the Enlightened person that I am, I have realized that with the enormous population growth the world has undergone, some "culling of the flock" needs to happen. How can we support all these people with dwindling resources? So any infraction will result in the death penalty.
