| Good job Texas! But you have to love the title to the article. Texas executes Mexican killer amid international protests - Los Angeles Times
Got to love this quote: Quote:
"It is striking the difference of perspective between the United States and many other countries," said David Fathi, U.S. program director for the group Human Rights Watch, which had opposed the execution.
"I think that [this] illustrates the widening gap."

| Obviously the US perspective on human rights is far below what the rest of the world possesses. Thus the correlation with people scrambling to get out of this country. Or do I have that backwards. |

| How about this? Quote: |
The Bush administration had intervened in support of the Mexican government, urging Texas prosecutors to reopen the death row cases.
| Hmmm. The destroyer of all civil rights and international relations sides with the international community and against the death penalty? Can't be true...

| Thus the reason Bush has such low numbers. No one on either side likes him. |

Bravo for him, but can you say "lame duck"? Or would it be "swan song"? |

| I cannot believe so many of you would support the willful killing of another human being. I am so sickened by the thought of my many hours spent on this site trading words with, what I thought to be, an enlightened crowd.
Sarcasm folks. Chimichanga anyone? |
