Racist, Reactionary, Evil, Hateful, and Loathsome (Was Re: [lbo-talk] Villon on executions)

[andie nachgeborenen]

This is not a helpful response, Carrol, I should not
have blown up the way I did.  Woj has said he agrees
with me that if the death penalty cannot be
administered in a color-blind way that it should be
administered at all. He says his point was
methodological, he was not impressed by the study
cited. I told him that other studies taht I know to be
good have supported the result, but really, there was
no call for me to go nuclear and after Woj's
explanation, even less for you to do so.
