    The state shouldn't be able to take your life outside of war. I've had this strict belief since junior high, maybe because I was raised catholic. I don't understand how anyone can see otherwise. Do you want your neighbors to be able to kill you?

      I don't know why you make an exception for war but not the judicial death penalty.

        Raised Quaker—they have no exception for war either.

        "Thou Shalt Not Kill". Quakers kind of take that to mean what it says.
