I totally respect those that can and would pull the switch. I guess if it was close to me I would pull the switch. My Grandfather was Sheriff of a county in New York at the turn of the century and in those days the sheriff had to go to and witness the execution if the person had been from their county. In one case he had to take his next door neighbor to the Chair in Sing Sing and witness the execution. My Grandfather's view of this was , "he killed someone so he had to be killed". That was the thinking in those days.
