This is silly. It’s fine to disagree, but millions (billions?) of healthy, morally ordinary people support the death penalty.

They might of course be wrong, in some sense, but they don’t “need help,” for crying out loud.

Yes. They do. If you support the death penalty then you’re probably in need of therapy to figure out some deep traumas.

You ever heard the proverb "revenge is a dish best served cold"?

I'm sure you'll get a few cheap virtue points for your rhetoric but the reality of the society we live in seems to contradict your opinion.

And for the record (which is really just a fancy way of saying "if I don't say this some jerk will come along and imply otherwise) I am against the death penalty because I think the risk of executing an innocent person is too great.
