The strangest thing happened to me the other night as I was falling asleep in bed. For some reason, like a bolt of lightning from out of the clear blue sky, I was suddenly overcome with this profound feeling that capital punishment is wrong. I have always been pretty neutral/apathetic about capital punishment. I mean, I never thought it was a good thing, but I thought, "well, they have done horrible things, so it's probably not too bad to do away with them." But then all of the sudden it just seemed like a horrible thing to me. I mean, sure, most of them have done horrible things, but does that make it right to kill them? Maybe this article about the botched 34-minute execution in Florida this past week that I had read earlier that day had something to do with this change of heart.
I don't remember how I came across this video by Psapp a few weeks ago, but it seems appropriate here. *WARNING* this video contains some cartoon violence.
