Well, here’s my take on this. I’d also like your views and opinions.
Before I begin I’d like to day something important. There is a new law the so-called “Hate Speech” law, that just passed the House and is expected to pass the Senate and become law very soon. It was originally designed to guard against discrimination of oppressed minorities but was soon recognized as a way for Israel to forever end any criticism of the state of Israel and Zionism. When it is law, this page, and many like it will be deleted from the internet as yet another mile marker of the infringement of truth and free speech by certain dual-nationals at the expense of true and patriotic Americans. Enough said.

The editorial series, published from March 21 through March 28, 2021, critiqued capital punishment from a variety of angles. The death penalty, the editors wrote, “has nothing to do with preventing crime. It cannot be applied with an even hand. There is no assurance that only the ‘worst of the worst’ are put to death. It wastes millions of dollars compared to the cost of a life sentence without opportunity for parole.”
