YAY!!!! Missouri strikes down juvenile death penalty

[CaptainBubba]

My position on this is simple: I put no faith in the government to decide who gets to live because as a rule I distrust their judgement in all matters, and since life is without a doubt the most precious thing in existence, they cannot have that right.

I used to be an ardent death penalty supporter simply for the fact that I endorse the practice of revenge, but realized that this would be hypocritical to my entire political philosophy of restricting the government.

On a purely personal level I have no problem with individuals extracting revenge however. Of course that can't ever be legally permissable but I know it'd be damn hard to stop me from killing someone who raped/killed any of my loved ones.
