I've read somewhere (it's quoted in one of the essays in Christa Wolf's Cassandra, but I can never find quotations in that book) that approval ratings for capital punishment are relatively high when it's legal, but drop enormously after a few decades when a country ceases to practise it. I'm curious to see how far that holds out, and also with regard to gun ownership.

So here's a poll. If you've moved countries in your life, select the one which you think of as home.

I'm perfectly happy for people to discuss this, but please do so with sensitivity.
