Prop 34

   The proposition that I found most interesting is prop 34.  Prop 34 is about death penalty.  I found this most interesting because this depends on a persons life and whether or not they should still exist for taking somebody else life.  Do I believe in the death penalty?  Well I am undecided because there are pros and cons to the death penalty. 

   The pros of the death penalty is that it is an eye for an eye.  This means that if you kill someone, you will also be killed.  This is the part I like about the death penalty.  The cons of the death penalty is that yes the prisoner would be killed but he really would not have to suffer for anything he would just die.  As to if there wasn't any death penalty, the prisoner would have to suffer even more because he gets life in prison and the officers and the people running the prison can kind of torture the inmate and make life hard on him because he killed somebody.  These are pros and cons of the death penalty.

   It is very hard to choose but if I was 18 years old, I would choose yes on the death penalty because I do believe in the phrase an eye for an eye.  I believe that the person should not have the right to live life if they take away another persons life.  This is such a hard prop to vote on because you just want a fair punishment and something that fits the crime and I personally believe the death penalty is the way to go.  So I say yes on prop 34.
