the rest of the civilized world by moving away from this dark ages, barbaric practice. We are currently in the company of Saudi Arabia and other oppressive societies who we hypocritically point fingers at on human rights issues. At least even Saudi Arabia has now made it illegal to execute someone who was a minor at the time of the crime. We are not even up to THOSE standards.

I don't care what ethnicity someone is, I am opposed to state killing period. So, yes, I AM serious. I oppose all killing by the state. Revenge is not justice and by now it should be of concern to most Americans that no other civilized nation still engages in it.
