I'd love it the government had the ability to murder me.

We would be one step closer to a dictatorship, and frankly, that's my kind of thing.

By the way, I'm being sarcastic. We constantly argue about government power, and what things government should be able to do. Why give them the power to murder citizens, regardless of their crime? And talk to people in life imprisonment. People who have to live in repetitive boredom for decades, who often suffer with their guilt for their remaining days, and grow old knowing that they wasted their entire life. Killing them is going easy on them.

Also, to quote something that's quoted a lot:

"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind." Gandhi

Killing someone because they're a murderer makes about as much sense as elephant diapers.
