Thanks for basing the ethical explanation so succinctly on the respect from life. Rarely do I find it put in such a clean and simple and accessible way. Connecting it to the ape-brain level urge for revenge is the icing on the cake.
From there I comfort myself with two thousand years it took a truly global institution to fully completely and no more strings attached reject capital punishment, the CCC, Catholic church law, closed the last loopholes allowing capital punishment only very recently.
We need to be patient with some nations to get there... Patient and persistent. As you were with your comment. Thanks again!
Wow, the positive comments here are really, nice. Thank you! Yes I was rather proud of that as well, I thought it deserved a bit of love--so thank you for sharing! :)
It's nice to get that here after slugging it out with someone who's seemingly misinterpreting what you're saying, so thank you for that support :) xx
