Troy Davis (United States of Amazing)
It's not a Black or White 'thang'... it's a human race 'thang'.
I can't say that i'm in total shock at the outcome. Afterall, Man was left in charge! Man in all his imperfect ways. The bearer of every flaw under the sun. Each biased in his own beliefs. You better believe he didn't lose a wink of sleep. The people however tossed and turned. Their uneasy rest was broken by silent pleas and prayers. To condemn a man for his sin is one thing. To take his life is another. Rather it be justice or injustice, the proof that this final judgement is 'just' solely based on reason is irrate. Beyond a reasonable doubt... Whose reason? Whose doubt? A mans life was taken last night at the hands of another. Just because he may have commited the same act does not make it right. For those of you religious... I believe it's the 6th commandment. For those of you political... I believe it's the 5th amendment. For those of you spiritual... I believe the essence of the Tao Te Ching captures it best "Sometimes you lead. Sometimes you follow. Sometimes you are stifled. Sometimes you breathe easy. Sometimes you are strong. Sometimes you are weak. Sometimes you destroy. And sometimes you are destroyed."
A quick FYI-- There have been 1,267 government-sanctioned executions since 1976. Troy Davis was the 35th person this year to receive the death penalty. 34 out of states have adopted this method of final judgement and decree, included with over 1/2 of the Nation is the U.S government and the U.S military... United States of Amazing...
... ain't no place like 'home'
Death by Lethal injection-- Painless and Humane. How modernly barbaric. Why not bring Lynching back? During slavery the ultimate punishment. Stoning proved to be quite effective in more primitive days. Even today, the end result is the same. My only gripe aside the fact that Man has stepped into the role of The Almighty Powers That Be... Is that someone turned this into the wrong race issue #humanbeing HELLO.
My final wish in this situation is that every Troy Davis that has met this fate, despite the times... May they each now find rest, wherever their souls may be.

Life Is Just Awful. Ain't It?
Life is awful. Dealing bad hands. Getting the short end of the stick. Hardships. Strife. Cup half empty syndrome. Pessimistic happenings. Reoccurring nightmares parading as 'just another bad dream'. D
