I feel no shame in saying that I believe in the idea of "blood for blood." In my opinion, death penalty should be made mandatory for all convicted of murder. I'm not alone in this opinion. A recent survey shows 74% of Americans agree with me.

Keeping them in prison for life would mean that they would require the basic Amenities for survival. The state would have to spend a lot of money on their upkeep. This can be avoided with the death penalty.

    D. ad populum
