1) doesn't answer the questionKen, typo. My bad.
1) States do stupid things all the time and time marches on and we as a society and civilisation develop and evolve, hopefully to a higher level. Official death penalty end might have been 1998 but mid 60's was it's true end and yes, we've evolved rapidly in the 60 years since then.
2) Silly.
2) Why? The reintroduction of the death penalty has been debated. If it became the law of the land then it would form part of the "Justice and law regardless of the crime are the bedrock of a proper, civilised society." Obviously this makes you uncomfortable as you now have to choose between your adherence to the law as part of the fabric of civilisation or you have to stick to your moral high ground of life being sacred. Not a silly question at all
