My politcial views... well some

The more and more I think about politics and the system we have the more and more I am finding that most politicans are wrong. they contradict themselves and are down right hypocrtical. I am going to put together a few of my thoughts on why I feel that way.


The first established death penalty laws date as far back as the Eighteenth Century B.C. in the Code of King Hammaurabi of Babylon, which codified the death penalty for 25 different crimes. The death penalty was also part of the Fourteenth Century B.C.'s Hittite Code; in the Seventh Century B.C.'s Draconian Code of Athens, which made death the only punishment for all crimes; and in the Fifth Century B.C.'s Roman Law of the Twelve Tablets. Death sentences were carried out by such means as crucifixion, drowning, beating to death, burning alive, and impalement.
Today we still use the death pently in the United States where many of Countries do not. We categorize our people that support the death penalty as Republicans and people that don't Democrats... which leads me to my next point.
Memebers of the political party that support abortion are democrats... while the reserve is true for Republicans. here is where I disagree with both. How can one party be ok with abortion and not ok with the death penalty? And vice versa. That seems contradicting. I feel that I value all life and as a Human I don't have the ability to make the call if a Man should die or not. I think if they commit horrific crimes than prison in Jail forever in a Super Max prison would be justice. I would like to end with some famous quotes for you all to think about (no one will read this but me)
Lord of the rings
Frodo: It's a pity Bilbo didn't kill him when he had the chance.
Gandalf: Pity? It was pity that stayed Bilbo's hand. Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends. My heart tells me that Gollum has some part to play yet, for good or ill before this is over. The pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many.
Christmas Carol:
Ghost of Christmas Present.
It may well be that, in the sight of Heaven, you are more worthless and less fit to live than MILLIONS like this poor man's child.
