" Recently --Texas Gov Rick Perry's boisterous audience of schizoid idiots were caught waving US flags even as they shouted: SECEDE! It might have been funny if these folk were not so tragically stupid! To these idiots, I say, get out! Secede! Who needs you? You don't even have oil anymore and no one is buying your shit!

Texas is about 50 years behind the US, much more so if compared to Europe. Minorities --primarily black and Hispanic --are disproportionately represented in the Texas gulag system but under represented in the State legislature, the various city councils, and the state judicial system."

Note: This article hits home since I live in Virginia where they just killed somebody on death row. Meanwhile - here in Charlottesville, VA - if you are white and rich and stab someone 18 times all you get is involuntary manslaughter. I wonder what would happen if you were poor and black? The death penalty is an anachronism that doesn't work - the writer spells it out nicely. I've heard that the victim's families feel remorse, much to their own surprise, after the person that killed their loved one is executed by the state - when that happens. Then we have the cases where the wrong person is put to death - and there is no way to fix that of course.

""Never before has the US Supreme Court ordered a hearing to determine if it is unconstitutional to execute someone who is innocent," said Larry Cox, executive director of Amnesty International USA, in a statement Tuesday."

Note: This is why the death penalty is wrong. The death penalty, just like Cass Sunstein's inherent superior ability to determine the truth or falsity of a "conspiracy theory" assumes that the justice system is infallible - and got it right. Once you kill someone there is no way to un-do the mistake - as we are finding out more and more is the case.
