What side was Texas on in the civil war again? Oh yeah...
The last statistics I saw re death penalty in America has 70% supporting it and the number is growing. I don't know what percentage of the population lives outside the old South, but it's certainly a lot more than 30%. The poll stats on opinions on moral issues, as linked above, show the death penalty as supported more than divorce, medical testing on animals, gambling, wearing animal furs, stem cell research using embryonic cells, sex between unmarried men and women, etc, etc. So, I don't know the basis for your statement above (or whereever it came from) but I would say it requires examination in the light of day. I can swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell. _ Blood Sweat & Tears
