“Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement." -Gandalf

Remember Cameron Todd Willingham. He was convicted on 3 counts of murder for the deaths of his children in a house fire. Most experts that reviewed the case agreed that it was an accidental fire, not arson, but Gov. Perry was making a run for President and wanted to look "tough on crime". He executed Willingham anyway.

I went to school with, and lived on the same street as, a multiple-murderer. I'm friends with someone who was best friends with one of his victims. He was eligible for the death penalty, but was given life without parole instead. It'll be 35 years this summer, and he still sits in prison. His punishment has been far worse than if he had been executed.

Not all of PA's water is contaminated, but they burned the chemicals sending them into the atmosphere. Winds blowing to the east carried it and can create problems with rain and air quality. I don't believe for a second that the air and water in western and other parts of PA will go unscathed by this. To what degree I'm not sure. I am really curious to see what the tests we run show.

America is a death cult. We love death, and all of our public policies are tilted towards creating more of it.
 
We've got levels of infant mortality in the deep south that would embarrass the third world that we can't do anything about, but we can put a gun in every teenager's hands no problem.
