"We are the only civilized country
that has the death penalty" is an oxymoron. Having the death penalty shows we are not a civilized country. or finish the sentence "that justifies is use of torture" or "that forces its citizens to go bankrupt to get health care". Two more oxymorons. There's no way out of it; my country is not civilized, and I'm very, very sorry.

1. We are, in no sense of the word, a 'civilized' nation.
We are a neo-barbarian nation, at best.

2. Even MEXICO doesn't have the death penalty. To me, that is a sad commentary about the USA. nt
