Is capital punishment evitable for today's times? Most agree yes, while others have a different agreement.The Terms "An Eye for an Eye", "A Tooth for A Tooth, "Do Onto Others, As They Will Do Onto You", and the list goes on, Has raise the agreement, I say yes! why not re institutionalize capital punishment. For one thing, it will make criminals think twice for the action they are thinking committing. Another agreement stems from, why should I pay my hard earn money to support criminals and make them live with the consequence for what they have done. While the disagreement on the other side, states what if the DA or the jury convict an innocent person. and they no longer can prove their innocence because they are now dead. Also, in actually, the cost for capital punishment far exceeds the cost, taxpayers will pay to execute prisoners, than to imprison them for life. Considering, the higher pre-trial expenses, longer trials, jury sequestration, extra expenses associated with prosecuting a DP case, and the appeals process.Lastly,There’s the argument to be made, that death is too good for the worst criminals. Let them wake up and go to bed every day of their lives in a prison cell, and think about the freedom they don't have, until they rot of old age. Whatever your stand, everyone has the right to express their thoughts about capital punishment, because its our constitutional rights as citizen, and as human beings, to let the government know how we feel about capital punishment. So what is your stand on Capital Punishment?

Life is such a precious thing which many in life take for granted daily. Yes we have control over our actions(at least a good amount of us to an extent) however when it comes down to it there is a higher being controlling the universe more powerful than any human, any amount of money, disease, or even nuclear weapon. Though we might now be able to touch this individual, force or higher being though destiny is in our hands I believe our destiny or the path of our destiny is already set in place for us. We wonder why at times that great person’s life ended so early, why it seems in life at times the better people in life seem to struggle.
What I am getting at before I go off into a tangent is that people who run government are people like you and I. Though they have more power over the legislative and judicial process that does not mean they should have control to take a life of a human being. If capital punishment is so right then is it right for Babylon to take the life of an innocent individual. What would the difference be except that the individual went through the trial process? Also show me statistics that show how capital punishment successfully curtails crime within a nation and on top of those individuals do not take into consideration the costs us taxpayers are paying to cover executions. I do not know about you but I believe my money should be going to something more positive, uplifting like towards yutes from early ages to give them various opportunities whether through education, self expression, sports, music, etc. Life is precious and only if life was so easy to just take the life from someone who committed something wrong or unjust towards you, how would this world be, or one would argue what kind of world is it becoming because many have this mindset?
