A Belated Memorial Day “Tribute”
What must it be like, to be sixteen, underage and not yet a man, but to know that your country needs you and that you love it too much to tell it to wait just two more years?
Capital Punishment
In my humble opinion,
(Note: to whoever reads this, I am but a 19 year old college student still learning about the world and it’s ways, and these are simply my current feelings. They’re not as strong as I may let on, and they’re certainly not firm. While I do believe in the death penalty, and probably will go on believing in it unless I am made to change my mind with a brilliant counterargument/example/etc, the details–outlined below–are defenitely more ambiguous, more subject to change. I may feel differently tomorrow. I may not. I may never change. While I usually welcome a healthy debate, this is for me to read years down the road, and also because writing is an expression of my whatever-the-secular-equivalent-of-a-soul is; it’s not meant to provoke counterarguments. So, on the slim chance that someone out there reads this & feels moved enough to disagree, I ask them quite politely to refrain.)
