Cars are useful for numerous reasons and car accidents are a natural result of cars being used.
The death penalty is a completely revocable and preventable government policy that ends innocent peoples lives for no positive gain.
There an alternatives to the death penalty that dont end innocent peoples lives (or any lives!) and don't give governments the power to murder its citizens.
I personally dont trust the government to 1. Be competent enough to catch the correct person. 2. To end a person's life.
I'm uncomfortable with your "dispose of the worst" phrasing but I don't disagree that we should reform our prison system. It's just very clear that the death penalty is not the solution.
