Yeah! Read this!!!!! Governor of Illinois scrapped the death sentance on everyone there sitting on death row!
..*sighs*...still got a ways to go, tho: there's a poll on the site asking: Should all U.S. states declare a moratorium on executions?
currently:
Yes 36% 51086 votes
No 64% 88904 votes
...and most of the article is people protesting the guy's decision...ok, right, I'm not saying to let them all back on the streets, but commuting these to life sentances? it's about the same effect...except that you're not taking a life.
See, it doesn't make sense, even...someone kills someone, so as "justice", you kill someone?
On top of this, look: "[...]pardoned four death row inmates Friday after determining they had been tortured into confessing crimes they did not commit. "
...in the United fucking States..*shaking head* man.....
And there was one line in this that kinda bugged me, tho... Overall, hey, look, even the voodoos want peace in Africa, that's kinda cool, in a way...but read the last bit there: ""It's moving to live voodoo ceremonies in their original fashion," said Kristina Gabrieli, a Portugese national living in Brazil. "It's more real than the movies or television."
...
...shouldn't it go without saying that things *actually experienced* are more real than the movies or television...?
