I notice a resurgence of the debate over the death sentence in the USA.
I find this remarkable, not because of the debate so much as the alternative suggested, usually life without parole.
I'm opposed to The State killing it's citizens, I admit. Equally I'm opposed to a State killing citizens of another country, usually referred to as "war".
However, most States that have removed the death penalty happily retain imprisonment for life without the chance of parole.
Isn't this simply the death penalty with only the time of death altered?
