It is very much like some kind of horror show...3 executions today, 4 from a few days ago... it reminds me of a moratorium petition on the death penalty that I read a bit ago;
Excerpts, "Exterminating the 3600 people presently on death row would require sustained mass executions such that would cause public sensibility to recoil in disgust".
"There is no conceivable, acceptable equation in between for exterminating the masses on death row that would not either be hopelessly impotent, or so shocking in the mass production of carnage that social conscience would soon come to abhor the death penalty as our European allies have".
I am beginning to wonder if they are trying to avoid the above by keeping it to only one inmate from a certain state on any given day...yet it all still goes on...and not even mentioned on our local television news...

The problem in America today is that politicians feel so Superior to the rest of the world and there continuance. ( hope i spelled it right) They don't care about human right although they scream the loudest when it comes to human rights in the rest of the world. But when it comes to the good ole United States of America then they are awfully quite all of a sudden. And the American justice system is a big joke..... I bet that when Brett was arrested and convicted there were elections going on and all they wanted to show is how tough they all were on crime. d**ned the innocent we need convictions and it doesn't matter how they get it. They simply don't give a flying f**k about human live one way or the other. Human life doesn't mean a thing if you ask me as far as politicians are concerned. All they care about is power and d**ned if you stand in there way or slap them on the wrists....
