capital punishment isn't even the main culprit here. Dylan Roof, Jim Addkisson, Payton Gendron, etc, etc are not state actors but are enabled by those who control most state governments, the public airwaves and most media. No point in condemning one form of evil while ignoring others. Bye now 😉

we're laughing but Florida (and sadly the US) are catching up. We just execute people en masse and don't need edicts from crazy mullahs. Just a Fox or Newsmax subscription and a sick mind.

Reply to Those of you who read on airplanes, what type of books do you like to read? by turboshot49cents
would recommend earplugs or noise canceling headphones; helps with the noise especially if there are crying kids (or drunk adults) on the flight.
a nice legal thriller works for me but everyone is different. Check out Camino Winds by John Grisham; depending on how fast a reader you are you might be able to finish it in two 13-hour flights (plus any downtime waiting at airports, etc).
safe travels!
