you could travel in time. Which epoch would you
choose? Where would you go? Perhaps most of
historians have such dreams. However, until the

The Death Penalty has been around since and before
the Americas were found. Even though it has been
in affect for hundreds of years, I do not feel it

cases, very painful for the inmate. most people
think the death penalty is a good way of justice
in the United States, and it is said to be a
humane way of execution, but from what I have
found, it is far from humane. Since 1976, 549
people have have been executed by lethal
