The reason we are so nice? Liberals, of course.
Taking life is wrong! In all cases! America out of Iraq!

I read someone say that life in prison is a lot more hard on the inmate, but that is hardly important. If people are fine with lethal injection, sure, go ahead. It would be more fun (and cheaper) to just shoot them. And if it fails to kill them the first time, most guns hold multiple cartridges nowadays.

The electric chair was a stupid idea. So was the gas chamber. Of course, after they found the Nazi death camps people started to think gassing people was in bad taste, didn't they?

The point isn't to be merciful or the opposite, the purpose is that, once someone has committed a crime that is impermissable (as opposed to the permissable crimes?), we render them nonexistent. Not a nice thing, but some people deserve it.
