Open Forum - Your Thoughts on the Death Penalty

At our meeting last night we discussed some ways to open our blog up to more participants. In an effort to facilitate some lively discussions, we will offer up an 'open forum' topic where you can post your thoughts on an issue. Anonymous posting is allowed.

Today's topic: Capital punishment. With the execution of Michael Ross imminent (although currently on hold), the legislature is set to debate the issue beginning January 31st.

What are your thoughts?
