What I Learned from Executing Two Men

I'm confused that you point out another person's rhetoric is implying one way of dying is worse than the other, but your original post on the matter also contains rhetoric in which method which the government kills people is more significant than another method which the government kills people.

If you're using that kind of rhetoric itself, why are you pointing it out as if it's a flaw in someone else's reasoning?

(My opinion on the subject is that neither the death penalty nor drone strikes should continue.)

Statistically speaking drone strikes are more significant because we kill more people each year (and more innocent bystanders) with drones than via trial and jury executions.

I think it is much harder for the person I was responding to to prove that somehow being on Death Row is more stressful than living in a war zone.

I don't believe there is a way to prove that either way. Experiences are subjective.
