An Interesting Perspective

Gov. Kitzhaber wants to discuss (again) abolishing the death penalty in Oregon and so the Oregon Legislature will take up the issue this week. Let me get this straight - killing babies is fine because it's the mother's choice and besides, too many of them strain the state's budget. And there's not enough money to go around for medical care so we need death panels to make sure that undeserving seniors take the big step because most won't do it voluntarily. But when it comes to cold-blooded killers, we're going to keep them around for their whole lives with all the amenities at public expense. Kill the innocent; keep the killers. Interesting paradigm for looking at the value of life.
