Well I can be glad about one thing. At least they spend money getting automatic appeals instead of just outright killing people like they did a couple of hundred years ago? Remember that? Remember all those witch hunts where they hung and drowned all those witches? Man they sure showed them who was in charge! I don't see any witches nowadays, that's for certain!
Isn't it funny how the USA spends so much money on the Capital Punishment:
- Cases without the death penalty cost $740,000, while cases where the death penalty is sought cost $1.26 million. Maintaining each death row prisoner costs taxpayers $90,000 more per year than a prisoner in general population.
......and yet its teens are 36th worldwide in math, science and reading? And the US is ranked 16th worldwide in social progress? Well at least we know they are spending their money in the right place.
"How do we stop the gun problem? Oh I know! Give everyone a gun and we'll all be safe!"
"Oh no, they're murdering people with guns! What will we do? Oh I know, we'll kill them! Yea!"
USA!!! USA!!!
You know, fighting fire with fire is not always the best solution. Most of the time preventing the fire in the first place works best.
