3. The death penalty.

As recently as 15 years ago, I was real gung-ho about the death penalty. Really kill-kill-kill, rah-rah-rah about it. Somewhere along the line, I changed my mind about the whole thing. I really think it is beneath a civilized society to put someone to death. It means we are no different and no better than people who commit murder.

I don't know how to account for the change of heart.
