"Capital Punishment ensures maximum safety for our citizens, provides an economical way of disposing of society's garbage, and offers the only true form of retribution for victims and their families. Moreover, capital punishment, interchangeable with the death penalty, is permitted by international law, allowed by thirty-eight states of the union, and practiced by the majority of world countries including the entire continents of Asia, Africa and the regions of the Middle East, the Caribbean and most of North and Central America. Furthermore, the only nations and regions not participating in the crucial tradition of capital punishment include: Europe, the majority of Latin America, Canada and a few less notable countries.
