Steve has written an excellent post/essay/whatever entitled “Killing Killers”. I suddenly found myself arguing against the death penalty with an American friend who was visiting the week before McVeigh’s scheduled execution. Unfortunately my arguments tend to be more emotional than rational, so I’m glad I’ll have Steve’s words to back me up in the future. If you are in any way interested in this issue (for or against), check out his site for relevant links and information.

  1. i haven’t had the time to read the article, but i have to say that the ultimate argument against capital punishment is that it’s wrong to kill to show that killing is wrong.


Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
