On last evening's Republican candidate debate

‎"The moment that would have broken my father's heart was the moment when applause broke out at the mention of more than 200 executions ordered by Rick Perry in Texas. It was stunning and brought tears to my eyes. This is what we've come to? That we applaud at executions?" ~Patti Davis, Ronald Reagan's Daughter

I'm baffled by this. We the people, our government, and the media ALL praise the efforts of WAR, almost too many to count, which includes millions of lives lost over the years by our own hands. Yet, the death penalty we object to. It doesn't add up. How do we fault one over the other.

I prefer the day we don't do either.
