Capital Punishment: Right or Wrong?
I'll define Capital Punishment as “that social institution whereby a government punishes a certain crime by putting the offender to death.” The assumed circumstances are that a crime really has been committed, a certain person is known to be guilty, and the verdict and execution is carried out fairly, by a recognized and responsible government.
The issue is not “Is capital punishment always right?” No one maintains that capital punishment is right for every crime, or when carried out by just anyone. When it is mistakenly carried out against the innocent it is horribly wrong. The real issue should ...

Clinton and Obama on Assisted Suicide
The question is not asked too often as candidates crisscross America, but it most often is asked in Oregon, the leader in physician assisted suicide.

Do you think the willingness of both political parties’ leaders to acknowledge the moral implications and aspects of abortion are an offering of good will and common ground?
To say that the acknowledgement of the moral implications and aspects of abortion are “an offering of good will and common ground” sounds nice, but William Wilberforce and his fellow abolitionists were constantly told this by those who wanted to massage slavery and tweak it here and there and maybe improve the conditions a little on the slave ships.
