Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- This is one, of many, reasons I am against the death penalty. – Capriciously selected for, as well as convicted under. Even without the demonstrable racial bias, our justice system is too imperfect to morally warrant taking lives underneath it.
- Executed Until Proven Guilty – ” The State of Georgia cannot claim that it doesn’t know about the unreliable nature of the evidence that convicted Davis. That they executed him anyway is further proof that the system itself must be reformed, because the individuals in charge of catching those wrongfully convicted are — at least in Davis’s case — neglecting to do their job.”
- Abbas Asks For U.N. Statehood Recognition: ‘The Time Has Come’ – Didn’t we used to once stand for self-determination, and celebrating the emergence of nations on the world scene. If not for our pathological governmental support for Israel — support that Israel takes full advantage of — we would be supporting this statehood recognition request as a logical and positive step forward. I don’t kid myself that the Palestinian leadership or nation is all wise and beneficent and white-hat-wearing … but they deserve to be recognized as a nation.
- ‘The last thing I’d do is condemn you’ – Some notes on Pat Robertson.

When was that? Panama is the only one that comes to mind and we did that for the Canal.
