No, I haven't forgotten about Columbine. Or all the other senseless murders I have thought about, but especially those committed by children. I just think that even if you DO believe in capital punishment, there has to be a point where any reasonable person would agree that an individual was just too young to be held to that penalty. So where is that point if not age 18? 16? 12? 8 years old? Try to visualize yourself executing a kid. I can't.

By the way, my point about child soldiers was that many 3rd world countries draft & arm children as young as 10 in their armies.... the kids are cheap, plentiful and can fire a gun...and they are treated just like adults by those governments. No special protections, allowances or differences in treatment between adults and kids there.
