The article ""race and the death penalty"" is just another liberal diatribe aimed at convincing people that there is racial bias in capital punishment. the whole point of the so-called statistics it mentions is to get people to be against the death penalty.

Precisely. People should be against the death penalty because it is a violation of human rights. Furthermore, when the government kills someone, they are in the wrong just as much as the criminal was except the difference is is that we a society should be able to trust and belief in our government and when the government murders people in cold blood, we lose our faith in the government. The government has to set the standards for the citizens and when they murder people, they send the message to the citizens that humans lives are worthless.

Hope this helps! :)

glass wants to live in a world of super heroes and villains. he have lived all his life trying to be responsible for the creating the origin story of a super hero; he schemed and caused many incidents (many of them fatal) hoping that someday someone with superpowers would show up and save the day.

he knew himself very much. he saw himself as a villain of a real-life super hero story. he was aware of his strengths (more than smart enough for being manipulative and scheming) and weaknesses (having fragile bones and having to rely on his mind to succeed).
