Good to see that *reasoned* dabate, without insult is alive and well on the CF.
So in your mind, a states right to sanction the death penalty (and for people to support its use) for the most despicable crimes/criminals is as moral as an adult to sexually abuse a child.
Sorry BBKing, but no matter how I try to get my head around your thinking on this point, I just cant do it. In a perfect society, the threat of state sanctioned death would be long assigned to history the world over. But IMHO, until we (the human race) reach some new and enlightened state, where child abuse/murder/rape no longer exist, then there will be crimes that people feel can only be rewarded with *extreme punishments*.
