All my thoughts on the death penalty contrast each other, so I don't really debate on either side of it, since I don't know what side I favor. I feel like murder is wrong, but I feel like the decision to muder a murderer through capital punishment is still wrong, since I believe that the decision to take anyone's life is not up to me or anyone else. If someone is a murderer, then yes they have done wrong, but if someone else does the same wrong, does that make it right?

On the other hand, it makes it better...since that person will never murder again. And keeping someone in prison for the rest of their life (not the legal term life but their actual life...until the day they die) is really expensive. And I don't particularly want my taxes to pay for that, either! But apart from the expenses there is room to consider...overcrowded prisons or many more of them...neither option is appealing to me.

What's the solution? I think both suck...I feel like murder is wrong, regardless of the circumstances, but logically, it seems like the most administratively practical thing to do.
