No human being has the right to pass judgment on or take the life of another human being. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." Only GOD may judge. In this country we will fight ardently to protect the rights of unborn life yet we tolerate and even support the denial of the right to life of a living human being who has memories, feelings, interpersonal connections and life experience, one who may even be innocent of the crime he is being punished for. We create more victims by perpetuating this cyclical "eye for an eye" mentality, callously writing off as collateral damage the grief & suffering of the forsaken's innocent family members. Yet we (as a country) claim to be a "Civilized Society" & "leader of the free world"...REALLY???
