  1. Even though some crimes deserve to be harshly punished, I remain opposed to capital punishment. Death as a punishment seems incompatible with civilization, especially in an ostensibly Christian country. Tell me where I am wrong.

  2. Once upon a time ... yes I lived in PA. I have for half a century been against capital punishment (aka ... government authorized homicide).
