I dont have much passion, per se, about the death penalty.
I have been on both sides of the issue and am currently straddling the fence on it. I do, however, have influences for my feelings about it. First I come from a long line of military and law enforcement folks. There is a certain mind set that develops when loved ones are always in harms way in protecting others. Second, I worked in health care/mental health and have seen the horrors people can perpetrate upon one another. It was frightening, disgusting, and maddening. My passion is toward finding some way to stop crime - any type of crime - in ways that do not compromise my values, beliefs, morals, and ethics. Crime screws with my peace of mind. I dont want to deal with a "solution" that does the same thing. Think my motto for the New Year is going to be.... Dont F*&$ With MY Kumbaya.
