.... imposed. Jurors, acting in societies best interest, have sent a clear message. Those who are compelled to commit a heinous premeditated murder must be ready to accept the consequence prescribed by law, death. Nearly 3 of 4 Americans support the death sentence as a form of punishment. The sacredness of life has been taught for centuries.

.... shall be the principal judicial organ of the United nations. It shall function in accordance with the annexed Statute, which is based upon the Statute of the Permanent court of International Justice and forms an integral part of the present Charter. The commands of international law must be those that the states impose upon themselves, as states must give consent to the commands that they will follow.

.... the 9mm HiPoint Carbine Assault Rifle. Like most killers, the two did not care about the law, they only had one thing on their mind. Murder. Another idea that has been executed is the filing of lawsuits against the gun manufacturers. That is downright ludicrous. How are the gun manufacturers to control what is done with their products? The companies make the guns for law-abiding citizens and cannot control whom the products are sold to. Suing a firearms corporation is like filing a lawsuit against the Toyota and Jack Daniels Corporations when someone becomes intoxicated and kills another in a drunk driving accident. Why not sue McDonalds when somebody eats too many Big Macs ....

(Lowe 3) As the above passage reads, why should we waste our time with these heartless and arrogant people? Murderers should not be allowed to walk the streets after being found guilty of such violent crimes. "To protect the innocent and transfer the fear and burden of crime to the criminal element where it belongs, we must demand that capital punishment be imposed when justified and expanded to cover terrible crimes in addition to murder" (Lee 163). Ever since executions have existed, there have been several methods of executing criminals. Firing squad, ha ....

.... and murder. Many ancient societies accepted the idea that certain crimes deserved . Ancient Roman and Mosaic law endorsed the notion of retaliation; they believed in the rule of "an eye for an eye." Similarly, the ancient Egyptians, Assyrians, and Greeks all executed citizens for a variety of crimes. The most famous people to be executed are Socrates and Jesus. Only in England, during the reigns of King Canute (1016-1035) and William the Conqueror (1066-1087) was the death penalty not used, although the results of interrogation and torture were often fatal (Kronenwetter 12).

It has been recognized in various forms around the world: in Africa as "dagga," in China as "ma," in Northern Europe as "hemp."
