(gasp) left wing (shudder) things in writing many times in places like this will all be rounded up and sent to camps for reeducation. Those of us who remain free will hide people wanted by the state in our homes until we're caught. Then one night we will simply disappear into the soon-to-be American gulags.

Some of us will be put to death. When my time comes, I want a firing squad. That's MUCH better than a stupid lethal injection.

On a more serious note, when CA resurrects its death penalty (if you'll pardon the pun), Charlie is FIRST!

Nebraska's Unicam (and we are hardly a bastion of liberalism) voted to end the death penalty -- in no small part because getting the drugs to do it is damn near impossible. Governor Pete Ricketts (Joe Ricketts' son -- TD Ameritrade and conservative superpacs) has fought to restore the death penalty and backed a drive to put it on the ballot. At one point, he seemed to indicate he could get the drugs from India, but this was either false or wishful thinking.

I think it was posturing
Ricketts is to governors what that terrorists in Oregon are to ranching

I thought wrong obviously

In the country. Not many executions, but lots of death sentences.

It's ineffective and unfairly meted out. It's proven to be given to blacks more often than whites for the same crime.

In every state in America there are countless people who commit murder under the same conditions and most will get under 10 years and one will get the death penalty. Getting the death penalty only reflects the quality of your lawyer and the color of your skin.

On any day the death penalty is being carried out, countless prisoners are leaving prison for committing the same crime in a "they paid their dues" and a free to go manner.
