Yes, but too many mistakes are made, and to stop those mistakes the death penalty should be thrown aside!

Do we see America’s name amongst this list, no, but yet we see it’s neighbour, Canada?
Why did Canada abolish the death penalty almost 30 years ago, and yet America still chucking along killing people year in, year out?
Why does America find it necessary to kill their population off, yet 79 other countries do not?
From 1662 – 2005, that’s 343 years of death, I don’t know how many American lives have been lost but it can only be double the amount of lives
those people killed! Now that is one large number!
Is this a conspiracy from the US government? Is the State having a shot at birth control under the American public’s noses? Who knows?
But I’ll be damned if the UK ever re-establishes such an act of total disregard for human life, I say NO! So Americans I call upon thee to rebel
against the Bush administration, to pray for the innocent lives lost, and to fight for your right to life!
Become an anti-death penalty protestor today, or die innocent tomorrow!
