August 15, 2016 Bruce Rauner, Governor Office of the Governor James R. Thompson Center 100 W. Randolph, 16-100 Chicago, IL 60601 Dear Governor Rauner, This letter is to address my position on capital punishment that it’s never acceptable to kill or murder because the “Eye for Eye” (Messerli) or Tooth for Tooth is not an ethical theory. As Christian we no longer live by the law an Eye for an Eye, which was represented in the book of Exodus 21:22-25; we live by grace, which is stated in…

the air near the Ugandans goal. I jumped as high as I could and so did the keeper but we collided mid air very hard and I ended up landing very hard on my back and head on the rocky ground. I was in a lot of pain but we were awarded a Penalty kick. I took the penalty kick and scored and won the game for us making it a 1-0 game. I would later find out that I had a fractured sternum after the…
inventor of the guillotine, but his name has been associated with the machine because, as Jorne Fabricius notes, he was the one to “propose that mechanical decapitation was used to replace older cruder forms of execution”. Dr. Guillotin wanted the death penalty to be equal for all since previously, the rich got the axe/sword to the neck while commoners faced crueller techniques such as drowning, hanging, and being burnt alive.
