When You Try, God Is

Government ... Can't Be Trusted To Control Its Own Bureaucrats Or Collect Taxes Equitably Or Fill A Pothole, Much Less Decide Which Of Its Citizens To Kill.

In Sorting Out My Feelings And Beliefs, There Is, However, One Piece Of Moral Ground Of Which I Am Absolutely Certain: If I Were To Be Murdered I Would Not Want My Murderer Executed. I Would Not Want My Death Avenged. Especially By Government--which Can't Be Trusted To Control Its Own Bureaucrats Or Collect Taxes Equitably Or Fill A Pothole, Much Less Decide Which Of Its Citizens To Kill.

The Death Penalty Is A Poor Person's Issue. Always Remember That: After All The Rhetoric That Goes On In The Legislative Assemblies, In The End, When The Deck Is Cast Out, It Is The Poor Who Are Selected To Die In This Country.

The Important Thing Is That When Your Come To Understand Something You Act On It, No Matter How Small That Act Is. Eventually It Will Take You Where You Need To Go.

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