Texas and the Death PenaltyTh
There is an AOL featured story today (probably meant as an anti-death penalty propaganda story, but mwhich I think represents the opposite) that Texas has 60% of the exectutions in the whole country.
This just shows how far Texas is ahead of the rest of the country, and how we think clearly here. What is "life without possibility of parole" (lol, as the victims are forgotten and the prisoner gets older) other than an EXTENDED DEATH SENTENCE (because you are too wimpy to do what needs to be done).
Lee Van Cleef quotes Judge Parker in "The Magnificent Seven Ride": "No one I ever hanged ever killed anyone else; people I did not hang killed LOTS of other people."
Quoting former Governor of Texas Bush (in one debate with Al Gore, when asked why the dragging death of some African-Americans did not induce him--a correct position on his part--to support additonal "hate crime" legislation): "Hey, I can only execute them once" (speaking of the killers, and with obvious regret).
