Americans In Love With Murder

How is it possible that as a "superpower" heavy hitter on planet Earth the United States has more people in prison than any other country AND, whenever possible, we get all excited about killing some of them.

Capital Punishment is nothing if not the most obvious manifestation of devolution. There can be no logical/ethical/rational argument for state-sponsored extermination as some call it.

A country that supports capital punishment and apparently is proud of the fact, is a country that has lost any genuine compassion. We've got technology up the ying yang but we behave like depraved, moronic, small-minded /losers filled with hate.

Whatever crap we dish out, we get back. Heard of karma?

Not only the most prisoners but the most police per capita and of course the most firearms. A frontier mentality and a penchant for military adventurism. A justice system that routinely convicts the innocent and acquits the guilty.

Our self-anointed "superpower" status is an illusion fed by too much hubris and too little humility and, as you point out, too little compassion. Karma indeed, our descendants may be paying for much more than the federal budget deficit.
