"And so

 to the end

of history,

murder shall

breed murder,

always in

the name of

right and honour,

and peace,

until the Gods

 are tired

of blood

and create

 a race

that can

 understand.

 

(George Bernard Shaw)

 

 

 

 

 

 

"All men tremble

at punishment.

All men fear death.

Likening others 

to oneself,

one should neither

slay nor cause

to slay."

 

the Buddhist 

Dhammapada

"The death penalty is like a giant lottery.  

The only difference is someone dies. 

 Of approximately 20,000 murders committed in the US

 every year, less than 1% result in the death penalty.  

They die not  because their crimes are the most horrendous, 

but because they do not have the money and power 

to fight for their lives.

Have any of you won the lottery lately?"
