today is a shameful day in america.
today is the day that the 1,000th person will be executed in america since the death penalty was re-instated in the 1980's.
most of our allies banished the death penalty long ago, for most of our allies have long recognized that the death penalty is implemented arbitrarily and capriciously(question: how many wealthy, white people with good legal teams have been executed in the last 20 years?).
and now we know that a significant percentage of the 1,000 people who've been executed were in fact innocent.
and by 'significant percentage' i mean any percentage more than 0%.
the death penalty is inherently barbaric, and it's barbarism is only enhanced by the fact that innocent
people have been put to death.
as i said, today is a shameful day in america.
