The Death Penalty

I'm not a blood thirsty person. But if someone I knew and loved was murdered in a terrorist attack, there's a very good chance I'd want my revenge. I'd probably want them killed. I might even want to do it myself.

My hope is that my family, friends, and government would always prevent me from doing so. I certainly hope they would never enact revenge on my behalf.

Yes, it is two different worlds: the subjective and objective stands on capital punishment. I was pleased to see some of the Bali victim families were against the death penalty.
