We still have the death penalty, in fact last year we defeated a bill to remove it. Strange....apparently enough of us are for it, yet the last execution was 2006. We have over 700 people on "death row" or so they say, but some judge was unhappy with the way we were killing them. I guess it wasn't humane enough. I say they should die in a fashion at least ten times worse than the way the earned it. My state is so effed up. I need to move, but I can't afford to leave.
