999 done. Next!

Did we set this horrible record yet? If so, I missed it... and gladly so. 1000 executions of the death penalty in the USA since 1976. It's discusting. It makes me sick in the stomach to know that so-called civilised countries actually endorse and promote murder by the state. There's an outcry when such a thing happens in a far away country (anyone remember Rwanda?!). Wh it happens in our own backyard, however, we say nothing. And those who do are labeled un-American, socialists, or worse.

If you agree with me that the death penalty should be abolished then check out the Amnesty International website. See for yourself that you're not the only one and help to stop this horrible state crime.
