How this blog got its name
------------------------------------
There was a large painting of Evel Knievel shaking hands with Richard Nixon. It hung in the Mayors office. Late one evening after everyone went home. I took it down to the lab. I zoomed in on Evel’s left eye a 100x and enhanced it. It was an address. I went to the address. It was a modest, 1970’s style, split level ranch home in the suburbs.
-----------------------------------
Inside I found a dead parrot lying on a waterbed. I revived the parrot with some saltines and adrenaline. We became good friends. The parrots name was Randy. One night a few years later while Randy and me played Gin Rummy, he sang me a song about a fire. The title of this blog was never mentioned but I sensed it, and Randy confirmed it by giving me ‘THE LOOK’.

According to a 2007 Pew Forum poll, the strongest supporters of the death penalty are white evangelical Christians, at 74%.
Sadly its not surprising that a religious group whose God and savior was unjustly executed by the Roman state would overwhelming support the death penalty. Christians on the whole are about as un-Christ like as a group can get.
What I really don’t understand is, lets just set aside all philosophical, religious and political differences just for one minute and ask a massively simple question.
Even if you support the death penalty do you really trust the government and our justice system to get it 100% right? Really?

I’ve been using this tactic as well, and it works great with people who allegedly believe in small government and think it’s out to get them.

Hell to the nooooooo, and I can’t believe anyone would believe it. They trust the government to MURDER citizens?! Insane.

Not in favor of the death penalty, but have lost all respect for the movement opposing it. They lie & distort, make heroes out of criminals.
