Lethal Injection

Apparently, it's a good thing that I am not a member of the Supreme Court, because I never agree with those people. Lethal injection, and executions in general, should not exist in the U.S. or any other country for that matter.

How are people able to put another person to death without one hundred percent certainty that that person is guilty of a crime? And even when they are without doubt, how can they take the life of another person?

I will never understand execution, because children learn what they live and as adults they act on the dysfunction that has consumed them. When you learn about the childhoods of the people on death row, you begin to understand their pain (pain is at the heart of dysfunction and the reason why people commit crimes) and how they came to be in their situation. Then, you see them as a human being, not a monster who deserves to die.

As a teacher, especially, I feel like I have an insight into the painful lives of children because I know what some of my students have already lived through in their short lives. And, whatever path they choose for their future, I would never wish death upon them.

Our country needs to come together, love and discipline our children, in order to avoid the need for capital punishment. It is an issue of time and money. But, it is not our job to bring them to their deaths, because that will happen naturally and the most evil people will have their judgment day.
