Justice can not be served until the debate on capital punishment is resolved and
            
             all states have come to agree that the death penalty is the best way to stop crime
            
             completely. "The bottom line is, one method of execution is just as brutal and as barbaric
            
             as the next," says Mr. Breedlove of the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty.
            
             This comes straight from the mouth of a member of a national organization against
            
             capital punishment. The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Third
            
             Edition defines execution as The act or an instance of putting to death or being put to
            
             death as a lawful penalty.
            
             So if Breedlove's words hold true, then what he believes is that someone going
            
             out and killing someone is barbaric. In a sense isn't that what he's saying, that one way of
            
             killing someone is just as bad as any other. So if he finds this so barbaric, why doesn't he
            
             do something about it? Many people who are against capital punishment are only
            
             thinking of the criminal and how cruel it is for them. But, shouldn't we think of the
            
             families that are broken apart now because of the merciless acts of these criminals. Think
            
             of Susan Smith, how she knowingly drove her car off into a lake with her two children
            
             strapped to the seats. Think of how they must have felt as the cold water started to fill the
            
             cabin of the car, and then ultimately drown them. Barbaric is exactly the word I would
            
             use to describe her actions. But yet, the jury rejected the death penalty and chose a life
            
             sentence instead. Mr. Smith, the father of the two children, broken up from the ruling
            
             said "Me and my family are disappointed that the death penalty was not the verdict, but it
            
             wasn't our choice. They returned a verdict they thought was justice" (Bragg, pg. 1+).
            
             But was it justice that she was not put to death for killing her two children. How
            
             could someone possibly let her off the hook of such a crime. They ...
