Texas executions

According to the AP report in the Feb. 25 Providence

    Journal, page A3 : " Bush had received 2,108 phone calls

    and letters opposing Beet's execution by yesterday afternoon,

    and 57 favoring it . "

           But naturally Gov. George W. Bush's compassionate

    conservatism won the day. It might even help win him

    the Republican nomination - " tough on crime ".

           Isn't it remarkable  what having Jesus as your

    personal savior can do for your everyday morals !

          Perhaps Austria should recall its ambassador

    to the United States - which is mostly just Texas .

          Any two bit psychiatrist will tell you that in

    order to have a death penalty you need born

    psychopaths to help  actually carry it out.

            The fact that only 57 people called in their

    support for  62 year old lunatic , Betty Lou Beet's

    execution shows that the death  penalty has only

    passive majority support. After all, most human

    beings aren't psychopaths .

           Prediction : a big loss for the GOP in

    November .
