You don't have to have a cognitive problem because you don't support the murder penalty. Let's face it, it may make some people feel better, but, it is not a deterrent to crime. People know if they kill someone they can get the death penalty here in NC, and yet they kill anyway. So, how is that deterring crime? When we, the citizens of NC, have legally sanctioned killing it makes us at just about the same level as the one we kill. So, let's stop playing God.
