No but when a rich man murders he is less guilty that's the problem. No problem with what you say here, I'll see you on the front lines.

"One man with courage is a majority."

Thomas Jefferson

We will never give up trying to reinstate it if it is abolished.

Campaign all you want, the majority of us go on and execute anyway, despite your cute little demonstrations.

Polls mean everything: We have the say in what goes and what doesnt. Besides, if a poor man murders, is he any less guilty?

[305375]

How do I know? Because we will never give up. "Had it not been for slavery, the death penalty would have likely been abolished in America. Slavery became a haven for the death penalty. " Angela Davis

Polls mean nothing for they never poll those most affected, the poor.

How do you know that abolition will win?

In a worldwide poll, 52% supported the death penalty.

The majority of people live in countries where the death penalty is practiced. China, India, the United States, and Japan have more people than all of Europe, for example.

Yes but number of American executions fell to its lowest level in about 15 years in 2008.

There were more than 5,400 executions carried out in the world in 2004 compared to the 2,390 you speak of in 2008

May still be going strong in your eyes but time will tell. We may lose battles, but in the end, we will win the over all war.

Thailand, which operated a de facto moratorium since 2004, executed two men two weeks ago. Japan continues to execute in huge numbers. The United States Federal Government recently carried out an execution, along with Texas. There is an imminent execution in South Korea. Over 2,390 executions last year.

Still going strong!

[305375]

As of 2009, fewer than 60 countries (less than a third of the total) actively retain the death penalty.

Growing weak!

[305375]

The strongest of the strong eventually grow weak.

When underdogs choose not to play by Goliaths rules, they win, "even when everything we think we know about power says they shouldn't."

How will Texas fall if there is strong public support?

[warpedcomedy]

Yeah, well slavery and the death penalty are opposites. Slavery is human bondage. The death penalty is justice.

So how will Texas fall?

80 Countries still have the death penalty.
