That is as it should be. If human beings were to uphold the
sanctity of human life the implementation of the law of capital punishment would
perhaps be not an urgent need.
The sad reality that tarnishes the peace, harmony, and welfare
of the people of this beautiful island home of ours is that too often do evil
impulses and desires compel humans to take the lives of others. This is plain to
see.
Hence, the wise decision to implement the existing law relating
to capital punishment will be welcomed by all civic conscious peace loving
citizens.
