With an upcoming presidential election right around the corner, candidates are presenting their positions on the same controversial matters that are always disputed. War in Iraq, abortion, death penalty, you know, those topics. Conservative Republicans usually take the usual stances-- no on abortion, yes on the death penalty, yes on pu- wait a minute. Does that sound a little funny to anyone else? No on abortion, but yes on the death penalty? Don't kill one person, but ya kill that other one...? Granted unborn children are innocent.... but in actuality, so are a shocking number of people on death row. Too many people who have been put to death for crimes they did not commit. I understand there are some crimes too sick for most of us to even imagine, but in my opinion, death is the easy way out for those people. If I did something awful enough to be on death row, I would rather die than sit alone and think about what I did everyday. Further, it is proven that it does not cost any more money to keep someone in prison than to execute them. I think a lot of people need to do more research on this topic. You may be surprised. <<http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/>>
