Problems with the American death penalty:

* not every state has it (they all should)

* the appeals process needs to be fixed

* many more criminals deserve it: serial rapists and child molestors for starters.

* in states like Commiefornia, the convicted are more likely to die of old age than the needle

GOD BLESS TEXAS. MORE STATES SHOULD BE LIKE THEIRS.

That the author of the last comment ("I love the death penalty") has found his or her way to pages of indymedia.org. I always worry that the left is only talking to itself, but here is clear evidence that political lines have been crossed, the mainsteam is gaining conciousness of the alternative voices, discourse has begun, people are listening. The revolution is near.
