Having been on death row 21 years without a
             fair trial, I can tell you plenty.  Firstly, over all this
             time I've known hundreds of row prisoners living
             and executed, all except a very small handful
             have known others in prisons, often in the same
             prison for very similar crimes and worse who had
             lesser sentences.  Some knew - know - dozens.
             The beat goes on.

            When a roll of the dice and vast discrepencies
             in the quality of legal representation and other
            egregious factors determine who lives or dies,
            this ain't fair dealing and justice, its Satanism
            which is why it'll never be harmonized in treatment.

           Secondly, for politically concious folks everywhere
           but particularly in the USA who are into civil rights
           and fair dealing many of whom support the death
           penalty know this: there's nothing so blatantly racist
           and discriminatory as the death penalty.  Its
           acceptance is like putting a flag on the nation
            saying, "Yes, I'm for racism and discrimination,"
           Its fait accompli. I know many will loath the connection
           but its undeniable !  By endorsement of the death
           penalty you tell those in the branches of government
           and others you willingly tolerate some racism and
           discrimination.

         As was said, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice
         everywhere,"  or something to that effect.

         Peace to you.
