Just to clarify – I misstated. I gave them too much credit. My mistake. In this morning's blog I stated that 37 States had abolished the death penalty. Wrong! Very wrong! Where I found that fact, it was referring to "37 jurisdictions" – whatever the hell that means? Other than it sounds better for the rabble who think Read more...
