yesterday's decision by the u.s. supreme court to uphold kentucky's use of lethal injection, fails to address the costly, ineffective and inefficient system that places the united states at the fringes of the world community...figures from a new report, released by amnesty international on tuesday - the day before the kentucky ruling - show that more than two thirds of the countries in the world have now abolished the death penalty in law or practice...
a in previous years, the vast majority of executions worldwide were carried out in a small handful of countries...in 2007, 88 per cent of all known executions took place in five countries: china, iran, saudi arabia, pakistan and right here in the good ol' usa...
such a top five would make a momma proud...
peace out <3
