Somebody in Italy suggested to impose a worldwide moratorium on Capital punishment. This initiative is overdue! UN must finally justify its existence and do something about it. States which allow death penalty MUST BE FORCED to impose the moratorium. Including the US, which has no business whatsoever preaching about democracy and civil rights to others while allowing this barbarism at home.
Definitely being a person of faith, I, at the same time, am not a religious one and my opposition to Capital punishment, thus, is not dictated by Christian, Judaic, Muslim or other values of that kind. I believe in UNIVERSAL VALUES - they do not belong to a single religion but to all people capable of telling good apart from evil. And while there are values and ideas worth dying for, there has never been a single value or idea worth killing for.
Taking a human life is wrong. Period. There should be NO fine print below.
