Sorry I didn't get to post last nigh, but I was busy watching a movie called Dead Man Walking. This is the best and most meaningful movie I have watched in a long time. Touching really, and I can't suggest it highly enough. It was a really great experience for me, though, because I actually saw Sister Helen Prejean speak here in Boise, and the movie was based on her experiences. It was basically about the death penalty and how it affects everyone around it.
And of course, it got me wondering to what extent we should be allowed to punish people. Is it really right to be able to kill people when they kill someone else? Isn't it wrong no matter who does it? And is capital punishment really punishment or revenge? Think about it, their good questions.
