If freedom is so devalued, and not a cherished gift, which when taken away can be unbearable.... why have so many willingly died in pursuit of it?
The proof is, that many would prefer and have preferred death, than to live without freedom.
My arguments against the death penalty have nothing to do with punishment, fear, retribution or anything to do with the crime. I am not focussing on the problem. Not focussing on a way to deal with the person committing the problem, but focussing on a solution reality of establishing an increased value on human life throughout all society. All humanity.
No death in war, suicide, abortion, euthenasia, death penalty, murder, assassination.
No cases where human hands are justified in taking a human life. Family, friend foe, self, criminal, enemy.
