I used to be for the death penalty, but the evil and incompetence of the government justice system and the writings of John Paul II helped change my mind, along with the realization that whatever a man is charged with, he is a piker as compared to the band of thieves and killers we call the government. That is, Tookie Williams is a sweetheart as compared to Bill Clinton or George Bush. So good for the conservative Rutherford Institute, which has called for a moritorium on executions in Virginia.
