Dear south-ga;
Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to answer your interesting
question.
Your view of the death penalty is shared by millions of people.
Unfortunately, to prove your position would be to settle the age-old
argument of right versus wrong when it comes to the use of capital
punishment. The mere fact that the issue is so emotionally charged and
heavily debated is proof that it may never be fully resolved in our
lifetime.
At the moment, no information exists that will absolutely prove
anyones opinion of the death penalty, regardless of whether they are
for it or against it. I can, however point you toward like-minded
individuals, resources and articles that support the death penalty in
the United States. Below you will find a number of links to such
information. Many of the links contain multiple links of their own
which will, in turn, lead you to many more sources of information that
you probably care to read. By gleaning the information you need from
what I have provided below you should be able to draft a paper that
your instructor will find, at the very least, impressive. In addition,
you will find many links to papers written by other students and
scholars that undoubtedly contain interesting data and useful
references. Their chosen formats should also give you an idea of how
to successfully model your own paper. I have defined my search
strategy below and outlined the terms that I used in my searches. If
necessary, you can easily locate more information by following my
search strategy.
I hope you find that that my research exceeds your expectations. If
you have any questions about my research please post a clarification
request prior to rating the answer. Otherwise, I welcome your rating
and your final comments and I look forward to working with you again
in the near future.
Best regards;

NOTABLE QUOTES:
"Most of us continue to believe that those who show utter contempt for
human life by committing remorseless, premeditated murder justly
forfeit the right to their own life."
Alex Kozinski, U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals
"If we execute murderers and there is in fact no deterrent effect, we
have killed a bunch of murderers. If we fail to execute murderers, and
doing so would in fact have deterred other murders, we have allowed
the killing of a bunch of innocent victims. I would much rather risk
the former. This, to me, is not a tough call."
John McAdams - Marquette University/Department of Political Science,
on deterrence

Dear south-ga:
I am sorry, though the offer is an attractive one; I am currently
unable to devote the amount of time it would take to take to draft a
quality paper on the subject. The price you suggested is indeed
tempting but unfortunately my personal time constraints are beyond my
control at the moment as I have other obligations.
I might suggest that you post an additional question requesting
someone perform this task for you (if you do, be sure to refer your
new question back to this one so the researcher may take advantage of
these links). I should also point out that some researchers, for
ethical reasons, object to doing homework-for-hire, but under the
terms you specified you might indeed find someone who is not only
available, but also quite willing to do your paper the justice it
deserves.
I wish you luck and a wonderful holiday season.
Best regards;
Tutuzdad-ga
