funny thin is that many people whgo are in favor of keeing the death penalty are also the ones who want "smaller government", or complain that the government is corrupt, or complain that the government is not competent to do almost anything properly.
I too am against the death penalty, but only because the system is flawed, not because we shouldn't be killing criminals that deserve to die.
Playing the "government is too big" card to bolster you argument is a cheap shot.
The cry for a smaller government simply means folks want the government to do what government is supposed to do...provide a military, civil rights, etc...not to be into shit like the health care business.
