Hi Ron,
Your analogy doesn't work here. A lot of people believe in the right to
drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, watch pornography, vote, serve in the
military, etc. etc...but NOT for children. So why does a belief in the
death penalty need to automatically imply the death penalty for all
capital criminals, including children? Does not compute.
Bill
