Troy Davis

I don't know whether this guy is guilty or not, but it seems the new information and the witnesses recanting of testimony is worth giving this case another look before taking the man's life. What is the difference between this and murder? The same people who protest abortion, calling themselves right-to-lifers have no problem with capital punishment or picking up a gun to kill animals, calling it sport. Maybe they should rethink their name and call themselves something else. I know I do.

Embarrass the Bigoted Idiots

Wasn't it the racist state of Georgia that sent a black teenager to prison for having consensual oral sex with another teenager? A girl that was having oral sex with just about everyone else in the room. Now they have a black man awaiting execution who has not been proven guilty, and I wonder what the difference is between this and an old fashioned lynching. Why can't the courts in these cases be accused of racism to the extent of effecting change? Signing petitions may or may not work, but unrelenting public ridicule puts the issue on the front page and the guilty parties along with it. Don't let them hide. Racism has existed long enough and will continue to exist as long as the practitioners are allowed to get away with it. If they are not intelligent enough to renounce it on their own, shame them out of it. Enough is enough.
