    Why Capital Punishment should be
abolished.

    --------------------------------

    With the death penelty issue 
comming back into the news, I decided
to post an article on why I think
capital punishment should be abolished

    Please remember that my opinios,
though are not what the majority of
what America thinks, are shared with
millions of people.

    Why should Capital Punishment be
abolished?

    === ====== ======= ========== ==

    o  The death penelty is irreverse-
able. How can a jury , even if
anaminus, be totaly sure a man is a
killer?

    o  Capital Punishment doesn't
detour murders, infact, according to a
study, murders went up 1/2 % - 
although I doubt that has any thing to
to do with the newly passed laws.

    o  The subject of racism, I'm not
sure if this is realy happening - but
the charges some people give are kind
of complex!"80.2 % of death-sentenced
people killed whites?" But anything
that has such major conservery and, I
myself do see some forms of racism in
capital punishment, should definetly
at least be put temporarly on hold! A
study should be made. However, of
course , I think it should be completly
stoped.

    o  Finaly , the human side of all
of this.
       Just what gives the government
right to KILL other people? I have
seen people convicted of murdering
someone because someone murdered some-
one else!(Vidualanti..) But the
government can??? This is a cruel,
uncivilised, and primitive way of
handling a problem that solves
nothing but revenge. It is a
"lets kill'm attitude."

    Now don't get me wrong, I am not
for feeling sorry for murderers and
sugesting automatic insanity charges
on all murder crimes or anything. I
thin that tougher action and more
involved study should be taken - but
not the old primitive capital
punishment. A more advanced social
action - how about being "invisable"
for life? No one will ever talk to
you or help you or even acnolige your
existance! Of course, there would be
laws againts "making someone visible".

    Sound like a fantisy movie? Oh
well, guess society isn't advanced
enough to handle its social problems
(which, in case of murders , is a
SERIOUS social problem). It will be
a long time before humans act like
humans.
