Good. No State - not a state, not the State - has the right to take a life for whatever reason; and those who support the death penalty quite clearly put themselves to the lie when they then turn around and attack "big government". There is no government bigger than that with the power over life and death.

I sleep well at night believing in the death penalty and railing against big government.  Thanks for caring though,

Death Penalty = Big Government?  HAHAHA . . . thanks for the laugh.  If anything, the death penalty is more of a small, local government practice going back to the way counties use to determine punishment on the local level.

Anyway, I can gladly say that we did what Maryland couldn't, which was put John Allan Mohammed to death for his crimes.
