SPEAKING TRUTH TO IDIOTS...A REPRINT, MY 3 READERS AGREE
THOUGH THEY PREFER TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS.....
What Stanley Tookie Williams did was bestial. What the State did was also bestial.
Is it too much to expect the State, or the country, to behave in a sane manner
and not indulge in killing? We are not Stanley Williams We are supposed to be
possessed of good reasoning powers…a fair, compassionate and God-fearing people, or at least that’s how we bill ourselves.
Like Stanley Williams, prisoners often wait a quarter of century with the threat of death hanging over their heads. Oh yes, some will say. “Well, he’s the one who dragged it out with his Appeals.” The nerve of the man trying to save his own skin. If you had killed, I’m sure that you’d ask for immediate death in return, wouldn’t you?
But stay with us, you’ll soon be rewarded with news of a 75 year old, legally blind man in a wheel chair going to his death.
We have the distinction of sharing the Death Penalty with just one other country. A bloodthirsty mideastern country, I think, Iran.
One has to remind our devout, church-going, prayerful Christians that “Vengeance is Mine,” sayeth the Lord. Well, perhaps they will find out one day how their God feels about the vengeance they carry in their souls, and how they act it out in His name.
An aside: The new Bush has taken on the look of a preacher. He sits with hands folded in front of him with a benign, fatherly mien, as calm and detached as the Buddha.. This man is being coached to give up the smirk and the swagger.
It hasn't worked so far.
