I totally see your point Dogula...IF you see a killing as a killing...period. I think that's fair and just.
I don't necessarily look at someone who's taken another person's life....not in every circumstance but the hard core murders....as someone who deserves to live out their own life. I don't look at taking that person's life as 'killing'....I look at it as 'justice'.
Is that the correct way to see it? Well...I don't know. People hae been polorized on that one for several decades.
Do I put that argument in the same arena as abortion? No....not really. The points aren't equivalent.
It doesn't lessen the points you or others are making though. I think we, as a society, SHOULD discuss those points and find some common ground.
