79. My view is radical.

I support the death penalty--in theory. Not everyone deserves to live. There are people on this planet so heinous that they should simply be put down, like we do rabid dogs.

The problem is in the administration of the death penalty. I don't trust anyone to make those decisions. I think of the state with the most executions: Texas. I did not trust George Bush to do anything right--I could never trust him to decide who lives or dies. Sarah Palin was Governor. I would not trust her to wash the windows, let alone make life and death decisions. So, unless I become Queen of the World, I cannot support the death penalty.

Side note: your arguments that those who disagree with you are "bloodlust," are not accurate or appropriate. No matter how hard I try, I cannot garner even the slightest bit of sympathy for the guy. I think of the victims' last moments. How scared were they? Did they cry for their moms? Were they in pain? How much did they suffer? And I think of my friend whose brother died at the hands of a murdering robber. And watch what the family went through when, during the trial, the murder arrogantly smiled at them as they cried in the courtroom. No matter how much you attack me and label me as bad as a murder, I cannot garner sympathy for him.
