Government ... Can't Be Trusted

I Realize That I Cannot Stand By Silently As My Government Executes Its Citizens. If I Do Not Speak Out And Resist, I Am An Accomplice.

Mercy Is "stronger And More God-like Than Vengeance".

Remorse Presupposes Enough Self-forgetfulness To Feel The Pain Ofothers.

When People Of Color Are Killed In The Inner City, When Homeless People Are Killed, When The "nobodies" Are Killed, District Attorneys Do Not Seek To Avenge Their Deaths. Black, Hispanic, Or Poor Families Who Have A Loved One Murdered Not Only Don't Expect The District Attorney's Office To Pursue The Death Penalty -which, Of Course, Is Both Costly And Time Consuming- But Are Surprised When The Case Is Prosecuted At All.

If You Are Going To Do Something For The Poor, The Abused, Or The Imprisoned, Above All Be Faithful. People With Broken Lives Often Come From Lives With Broken Promises.
