Its not complicated, and yes I believe in capital punishment.

It's interesting that the pro-capital punishment crowd keeps re-iterating "it's not complicated", "It's simple", etc...
Seems to me justice and social order are pretty complicated. That is to say nothing of irrevocably putting to death an individual, regardless of what they've done.
So, I wonder which came first: the pro-capital punishment crowd's simplistic view of legal order or their presumption that killing someone is an inherently simple act.
