Do you see or even can envision a herd of sheep or a pack of lions handing out capital punishment for a 'shady' member? Do monkeys inject their clan members with lethal chemicals to get rid of them? Can't speak for you, but at least I've never seen dogs electrocuting their friends. So why do we even talk about it. Ahh, yes, the clincher. We're evolved. And that fits perfectly with our habit of taking something that's not ours. If you know that someone is harmful, you keep away, or at most, keep them away. That's what life sentences are supposed to do.

But I guess, we just want to satisfy our killer urges, if not directly, then by voting for the representative who supports it. We derive our pleasures out of taking something that was never ours to take. We discuss and debate heatedly, furious words are exchanged, and when the show is over, we turn our backs and talk about that Christopher Nolan movie.

There's nothing humane about being human!
