Death Penalty:
I am generally against the death penalty. Mainly because I fear giving someone the power to make this decision. Second, if it's wrong to kill except in self defense, then it also wrong for the state to do the same thing. However, I've got to say one thing. If the choices are to allow murderers to serve short sentences and then release them to repeat the process, as we do in Canada, then I think we might do better by following the American's lead in cases such as this.
