The death penalty is one of those “no middle-ground” issues. For example, I oppose the death penalty. Well, for me.It appears as though the Supreme court will soon decide on whether we should be executing people, and if so, how.

First, a little history. Did you know that in the battle over whether to establish AC or DC current, Thomas Edison, who backed DC, arrangned the first electric chair execution using AC, and the guys head caught on fire. He thought this would turn people off. Obviously, he didn’t understand human nature. Today, that’d have a billion hits on You Tube.

I never understood Florida’s death penalty, where they kill you at dawn. That seems cruel. Midnight makes more sense. It’s poetic; end of a day, end of a life. Dawn, that’s like ...teasing you. I can see the guy the night before..”I better hit the rack, I have a short day tomorrow.”
