I am reading about the execution of Mr. Morales. It is very disturbing to me to continue to read articles by otherwise relatively intelligent people that just miss the whole boat on the death penalty issue.

The latest challenge to the death penalty in the USA comes from Mr. Morales who doesn't want a drug that is banned for use in putting down other animals to be used on him for the same reason: that it causes the patient undo pain. We have a law in the constitution against cruel punishment. His argument seems plausible and prudent. Read More

Mr. President, you know John Bolton is out to destroy the very institution he would be supposed to support. I know this too. You can fool most of the people most of the time, but on occassion some of the people some of the time will be enough to stop this outrageous attempt at robbing our nation of the tiny bit of respect we may one day be able to garnish through the very necessary United Nations. Contrary to your beliefs and those of Mr. Bolton, the UN is important to the future of all humanity, if there is to be one. This isn't about "threatening" your insecure ideas on sovereignty. It is about saving our humanity and respect in the world. While that is clearly not your agenda, it is mine. Pay our dues in the international community, Mr. President. I pay my bills, I hope you will pay our nation's willful obligations too. Paying your obligations applies to Social Security as well, Mr. President, but that is another letter. Read More
