It's wrong to bring class hate tactics into a debate that is this important, if it's ever not wrong. To do so is a sign that one's cause is not good enough to win with the truth . Capital punishment is the most premeditated of murders, to which no criminal's deed, however calculated, can be compared. For there to be an equivalency, the death penalty would have to punish a criminal who had warned his victim of the date at which he would inflict a horrible death on him and who, from that moment onward, had confined him at his mercy for months. Such a monster is not encountered in private life.
Capital punishment is our society's recognition of the sanctity of human life.
