Hooked

John Kerry just gave me another good reason to vote for him.

It’s been awhile since I heard a presidential candidate make a good argument against the death penalty. The last time, I think, was 1988 and that didn’t work out too well.

Times have changed, though. The DNA revolution has proved that we are executing innocent people, which has always been my main objection to it. It’s good to hear a national candidate make this argument at the right time.

Our death penalty system is a national disgrace. If they want to re-run the 1988 election, fine. Except for all the the peace and prosperity there’s not a lot of difference between then and now.
