“You say to murder is taking a life
without provocation. Thinking that you have provocation is not enough
to make killing an innocent person a killing and not a murder, so
society is committing murder when it kills an innocent man. Are you
saying that it is morally okay for the society to commit murder
because they thought they had provocation? It sounds like you are
trying to say that the morals of the society should be followed no
matter what. It seems to me that is the same mentality that caused
people to not question Hitler and to have also burned witches in
Salem. Funny that I have never heard of any one on death row killing
anyone. So much for that argument. After your argument supporting the
death penalty, how could you say getting rid of it would be okay if
the law changed? I know, because the moral standards of the society
are always right. That seems kind of like mindless following. Our
forefathers seen that what the society wants is definitely not always
correct. That is the reason they wrote the constitution. To protect
people from themselves. People would make laws and vote away all of
their freedoms if it was not for the constitution. So much for the
morals of the society. They are largely governed by emotions.”
