I must say that i strongly disagree with anyone who thinks capital punishment should be outlawed. Yes they are people too, and yes, we sink down to ther level by doing to them what they have done to others. But the way i see it, we're just taking out the trash. What else are we supposed to do with serial killers and such? Take Timothy McVeigh for example. What would you have the government do to him? Spend millions to keep him incarcerated for the rest of his life? Put him through years of intensive therapy and then release him and hope that he doesn't demolish another building? These aren't even valid options. You have to agree, in some cases, capital punishment is the only way to go. Yes it's uncivilized, but what are the alternatives?
